Transitions are always scaring and perhaps one of the scariest ones is when we are kicked out of our little college bubble and out into the real-real world. Don't get me wrong we have already partaken in the real world we have not been living a fairy tale, however it is the time for when we will be forced away from our friends and we will be completely responsible for our own lives. Here are a few thoughts I think everyone has at least once when they are about to graduate.


Hire me please.

We all have had that moment where we think we will never get hired by anyone. We just desperately want someone to notice all the hard work we have put in the past few years and give us a salary for it. Pleas hire us. We are begging you.


How will I function without my friends?

There are always friends around to help you put together an outfit or to look over a paper you have written. You are kind of used to travelling in a heard whether if it is for dinner or a sports event. Your group has come from all over the country and once you are outside of your bubble you wonder how you will see them again and how you will be as happy on your own.


But I still haven't learned how to be an adult?

what is a Roth IRA? What kind of retirement plan do I need? What is the plural of "moose"? These are questions that we still ask ourselves. When we were younger we thought that when we graduated college we would feel like adults but here we are and we are still confused about a lot of things.


I need to buy dress pants.

I need to get a whole new wardrobe for the adult work field. I don't think my roll out of bed college clothes are going to cut it anymore. We might need to start investing in a wardrobe that is more real clothes rather than pajamas and workout clothes.


What if I forget everything I have learned?

What if I cannot remember everything important that I have been told for the last four years? What if all of my knowledge just decides to leave my brain.


We finally did it.

We are finally getting prepared to walk the line. We are very proud that we have been able to accomplish this dream that we have had for so long. No, it has not been easy. We know that it will be worth it. We cannot wait to put all of our work to the test. We will always cherish the amazing memories we have had at our school. we will forever be thankful for the amazing season in our lives that is known as college.

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

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.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
