11 Struggles Of Having A Mother Cooler Than You
Kelsey Cantwell

I'm one of those lucky "Teacher's Kids" that actually had a mother who was a teacher that students looked up to. Everyone loves her. She's strong, independent, and she's the hardest worker I know. In fact, she's been teaching high school and adjunct college classes for about forty years. My senior year of high school, she was voted "Funniest Teacher" and "Favorite Teacher". One of her former students even filmed her during one of her sermons--I mean, lessons... It has over 1,000 views.


Here are some of the struggles I'm sure many of you with cool mothers face daily.

1. The only reason friends hang out with you is because she makes them laugh.

2. She steals your jokes but delivers them with more pizzazz than you ever could.

3. Old friends always ask how she's doing before they ask how you're doing.

4. She has more Facebook friends than you.

5. More of your friends from high school follow her on Instagram than you.

6. It's cute when she uses emojis incorrectly, but when you make an accident you're shunned.

7. You can't keep up with her when she raps along to Tupac.

8. You can't leave the grocery store without five different people coming up to you to say how awesome your mom is.

9. Your mom actually copied your hair cut, but it doesn't matter. You're still just tryna be like yo' momma.

10. It's not that people don't want to listen to you, they would just rather listen to your mom.

11. No matter how weird it is to know you're becoming more like your mother everyday, you can't help but smile because there is no one else you'd rather emulate.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
