15 Reasons To Be Thankful For Your Mom

Throughout the years, your mom has been there for you under every circumstance possible. It is easy to forget how much your mom has sacrificed for you to have a great childhood. As Mother's Day comes around, it is important to be reminded of all the things your mom has done for you. This one's for all the moms- we appreciate every little thing you do! Here are 15 things you'll want to thank your mom for.


1. Finding the items I have lost

As we all know, nothing is really lost until your mom can't find it. Thank you for finding every toy, jersey, hairbrush and so much more.

2. Giving into buying anything I ask for, whether I need it or not.

I know I don't need any more products or clothes, but thank you for stepping up to the plate when I think I do.

3. Surviving through the whole "middle school" stage with me.

Even though you told me a million times my hair was too dark and I had too much eyeliner on, I never listened to you. Thank you for trying to help, anyways.

4. Attending every event

From practices to graduation day, you were always sitting front and center cheering me on. Thank you for always supporting me.

5. Doing all the chores with little help

No matter how many times you told me to clean my room or do the dishes I would always do a subpar job. Thank you, for finishing the job every time.

6. Always having my back

Even when you know I'm wrong, you still find a way to back me up. Thank you for defending me even when you don't think you should.

7. Never staying mad at me

I know I can make your blood boil, but it never lasts for long. Thank you for finding a way to forgive me no matter what I've done wrong.

8. Letting me borrow everything of yours

Although this may seem more like "stealing" in your eyes, I swear I always intend to give your things back! Thank you, for lending me your items even when I don't ask.

9. Being a personal chauffeur until I was old enough to drive

Thank you for the countless amount of times you drove me around all day from school to practice and friends houses.

10. Throwing the best birthday parties

You were responsible for every one of my greatest birthday parties! Thank you, for giving me some of my greatest childhood memories.

11. Telling me when something looks bad

I can always count on you to tell me when a certain look is not made for me. Thank you, for never holding back how you really feel.

12. Encouraging me to never give up on my dreams

No matter how ridiculous they have sounded throughout the years, thank you for convincing me to accomplish whatever I have in mind.

13. Giving me your sense of humor

Now that I'm older, we are cracking the same jokes. Thank you, for always giving me someone to laugh with.

14. Your patience

Thank you, for always acting relaxed no matter what other emotions you must be feeling.

15. Being my number one fan!


Most of all, thank you for standing by my side and becoming my best friend, I don't know what I would do without you!


I love you, Mom!

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.
