11 Things I Ask My Mom For While I'm Home
Us Seek

It's finally that time again when we begin to realize all the small, but important things our families do for us that we miss so dearly. So instead of traveling far and wide for Spring Break, we return to our loving homes to see the brightest of smiles. Here is a list I've compiled of some of the small, but SUPER SUPER important things we ask our moms to do that we couldn't possibly do ourselves, right?

1. "Can you get me a glass of water?"

There's no possible way you could walk 10 feet into the kitchen to get your own glass of water, so here Mom comes to the rescue.

2. "Mom, can you PLEASE call the dentist and make my appointment for me?"

She's been doing such a good job telling them what's wrong already, how could we possibly do it on our own now?

3. "What is my social security number?"

OK, no one ever told me we would have to memorize this ourselves.

4. "Do you have credit? Do I have credit? Can I just use some of your credit? I just need to buy something."

What even is credit and how does it work?

5. "Can you come tuck me into bed, please?"

Let's face it, anything that doesn't come from the microwave is so much closer to a five-star meal than what we've been eating.

7. "Is $4.99 too much to spend on strawberries?"

And if Mom is buying, can we buy them anyways? Or, does meal plan reach back home?

8. "Which medicine should I be taking? Can you get it for me?"

Moms always have the right medicine.

9. "What's for dinner?"

If there is any leftovers, can I take them back with me?

10. "Can you call this prescription in for me?"

They intimidate me, Mom.

11. "Can I stop adulting now?"

I'm too young to do this whole adult thing.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
