13 Things We All Relate To When Mom Comes To Town
Kylie Bradley

Our freedom as college students is something we all cherish, but sometimes we just need to spend time with our loved ones. A weekend with Mom can be the perfect little get away from daily stress. You find yourself excited to let her into the new life you've created and want her to see the very best parts of it.

Here's thirteen things you're bound to experience within a "Mom weekend."


Long Hugs

Let's face it, we all know the first thing you'll do when Mom gets out of the car is latch on.


Catching Up

The second thing you'll most likely switch to is spilling everything you've been holding in.


..... including all your drama and stress

Mom listens to all the things you just can’t talk about with anyone else.


One Word: Groceries

We all know Mom just can't help but ask how your supply of food is holding up. Chances are, she probably won't be able to leave without fixing the fact that you have only one package of Ramen and half of a Gatorade left in your stash. You'll feel like a millionaire throwing the "high quality" snacks in the basket.


Showing off your city

Have you ever tried squishing all your favorite places and activities into one weekend?
You will now.


Random Sights

We've all googled the top things to do in our area. Chances are if this is one of your mom's first visits you may try to impress her with something that "seemed cool from the reviews."


Introducing her to your “adult life”

.... and that's where I buy groceries
....... that's where we park our cars when we go out
oh, and that's where I bought a book from, read it, and returned it a day later...

It may not be a glorious life, but it's ours....
and our independence is something we want to show off to the ones we learned from.


Showing your college friends off

She's heard all the stories, so it's only fair you help her put a face to all the names, right?


Picking the best places to eat

Eating well is a must, since you’ve been surviving off of the cafe for weeks.
Mom's got this one.


Relaxing

Pizza, wine, and chilling in a hotel room for the night? Sign us up.


Talking about all of the things to do next time she's in town

..... because honestly, y'all probably didn't get around to half of the stuff you planned.


Sneaky Advice

Mom will always find a way to sneak in some advice on your living habits. She thinks she's being slick when she "nonchalantly" asks if you separate your whites from your pinks on laundry day, or when the last time you had your oil changed was, but we all know what she's doing..



Sappy Goodbyes

By the end of the trip all you'll be able to think about is how much you love spending time with your mom and how much you cherish her advice. She'll gush about how proud she is of you, and you'll have another one of those long hugs. As you watch her drive away you'll find yourself feeling lucky to be blessed with such an amazing role model.

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:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
