A look at the benefits of my aquatic occupation.

What Working At A Waterpark Has Taught Me

This is not a shameless plug for Big Surf Waterpark off of Y Road in Linn Creek, Missouri, open 10-6 everyday, weather permitting. This is merely a description of the beautiful things that I have learned at a beautiful waterpark with fun activities and employees who love to help families have a wave-tastic day. I repeat, this is not a shameless plug for Big Surf Waterpark (but if you're interested, follow the link).

1. Kids are either super adorable...

With their princess life jackets and their crocs, they will run their way into the wavepool and into your heart.

2. Or they are super obnoxious.

(They are usually just cute, though).

3. Ice cream is stickier than you might believe.

I hate being sticky. It is my least favorite pastime.

4. Grandparents really do love to spoil their grandchildren.


They might pretend that they don't, but you can see it in the way they smile at the kiddos.

5. And grandmas love to swim down that Lazy River.

Am I right, ladies? #LazyRiverForLife

6. Piggy banks are real.

Need proof? You should see how often people pay in quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies!

7. Walkie Talkies can be hard to use.

You have to press the button down really hard or else everyone will make fun of you.

8. Air conditioning is a #blessing.

White pavement + the bright sun + my pale complexion + 15 minutes outside = a nasty sunburn.

9. One bus load of children equals one empty rack of life jackets.

Safety is key!

10. Waterpark food is magically addictive.

But unlike drugs, this food is FDA approved.

11. I love to help make people happy, one waterslide at a time.

My job is pretty great. There aren't a lot of places that kids get to have so much fun.

This article has been approved by Big Surf Waterpark. But again, don't feel pressured to have the time of your life by going to a super awesome and wave-mazing waterpark in Linn Creek, MO. It's your decision to have fun or to miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
