12 Things I Will Never Stop Asking My Mom
Courtney Knudsen

Growing up, I was constantly arguing with my mom. In the younger years, it was mostly about her making me brush my teeth. Then as I got older it was cellphone usage, going to school and coming home late. As I got into my 20's, I realized that I am definitely not as grown up as I though I was going to be back then, and instead of her calling me to check up on me, I'm the one calling her, usually with plenty of questions in my arsenal. Here are a few things I will never stop asking my mom:

1. How long after expiration can I eat _____?

We all know food doesn't really expire on the expiration date. I need to know how long I can hang on to my milk before I will actually die from consuming it.

2. Will you call _____ for me?

I hate making appointments. I hate canceling appointments. I need a personal secretary to do these things.

3. Who is our insurance company?

And where's the card? Which number is the policy number?

4. How long will my car last before I have to get the oil changed?

Every 3,000 miles is just a suggestion...right?

5. What should I eat for dinner?

I have rice, half a tomato and some yogurt. What can I make?

6. What's my blood type?

I know I have asked this at least 10 times and I still don't know what it is.

7. Can you help me pay for _____ ?

New running shoes? Parts for my car? Groceries?

8. Is it normal if _____ ?

Followed by a gory description of something gross my body is doing.

9. What's the Netflix password?

Why can't I remember it?!

10. What's your billing zip code?

No reason...just taking a survey.

11. How often do I need shots?

Because according to WebMD I think I have polio.

12. When are you coming to visit me?

Because I miss you. Like, all the time.

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.
