Waking up:

You first wake up at an absurdly early hour. Before even checking your alarm clock, you frantically flail around looking for ice-cold water. You realize there is no water waiting for you at your nightstand table and debate if it's worth the energy to grab a glass from the kitchen. After about a total of three minutes, you decide you're too lazy, shrug, and close your eyes.

A few hours later, your eyes slowly blink open. Bright light floods into your room and your only thought is, "well, shit, I guess today really has to start". You notice your mouth is oddly dry while you remember and regret your decision to not get water earlier. You feel like death, yet you have a sudden burst of positivity. You got this; you know you do. You hop out of bed and without second-guessing yourself, you toast that bagel you promised yourself you wouldn't dare eat and opt for some coffee. 'Cause what doesn't the dynamic duo of carbs and coffee cure?

Afternoon:

The afternoon is a time to make some very tough decisions. Will you go to brunch, will you workout or will you get some homework done? Ha! As if. No way are you getting homework done right now. The thought of exercising quickly passes you by too. Cardio? You'd die. Now that you really start to think about it, leaving bed to go to brunch sounds pretty miserable too. You go back and forth thinking if you should or shouldn't go. You're excited to hear about everyone's crazy stories from this weekend, but ugh, the thought of putting on jeans and attempting to look decent just sounds unbearable. You send an apology text in your group chat explaining that you won't make it today. And they most likely respond, "same sorry def another time!" Even though you deep down know these Sunday brunches will forever have to be rescheduled. Since studying is still totally out of the question, you grab your laptop and binge watch your favorite show on Netflix.

Sundown:

You peep out your window to find the sun setting. You admire the beautiful sky for a hot sec, but suddenly anxiety takes over. CRAP, you still haven't done any homework. After freaking out to everyone in sight about how much reading you have to do, and maybe after even shedding a tear or two, you get your shit together. "You got this", you tell yourself. You shove your books into your backpack and head to a quiet place. You silence your phone and flip it over, promising not to check it. Coffee in hand, you're in full-on grind mode now (again, coffee is every college kid's lifeline). You take a deep breath as you mentally prepare yourself for the hours of agony (I mean studying) you're about to endure.

What should be way past your bedtime:

Finally, you're headed off to bed. A great sense of relief fulfills you as your head hits the pillow. Right before you drift off to sleep, you promise yourself you won’t let this happen again. That you will be more productive next Sunday. But really? Will you?

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
