We love our moms. They are supportive, kind, patient, and usually understanding. We think that we can totally survive the real world (college) on our own, but sometimes we are sadly mistaken.

This can very clearly be displayed through the texts I am constantly sending to my mom. So, Mom, if you're reading this, thank you for always texting back (eventually) and helping me maintain my sanity. Here are just a few of the many many texts I sent her throughout the year.

1. "Hey mom, how do you make a hard boiled egg." I wish this one was a joke.

2. "So, I know I said I wouldn't go over data anymore, but the wifi at school is just really bad..." She showed no mercy and those are $15 I will never get back.

3. "Can my white flowy shirt go in the dryer?!" It can't, but it did.

4. "You know how you showed me how to write a check? What do the numbers at the bottom mean, again?" For the record, that is your routing number and account number.

5. "How long should I let the toilet cleaner sit in the toilet, and if I got that sink cleaning stuff on my hands will it really burn off my skin?" So far, so good.

6. "I know you told me how to call in a new prescription, but I think I accidentally called the wrong CVS, please help."

7) "My car said to check the oil, but did not tell me where to check it..." That was a long phone call.

8. "What's that chicken recipe thing you make with the cheese?" Safe to say with that description, it didn't taste the same.

9. "Please don't freak out. I spent too much money at the mall, but I promise I'm returning some of it later!" Those clothes are still in my drawer and I haven't worn them. Whoops.

10. "PLEASE TELL ME I DIDN'T LEAVE MY FAVORITE NIKE SHORTS AT HOME OMG I'M GOING TO CRY I NEED THEM." She was busy at work and told me to "figure it out." This was not the response I was looking for.

11. "Okay, so my keys were on the table at this person's house, and now they are gone and I don't know what to do." She calmly said that there was nothing she could do four hours away... so she prayed.

12. "I think I need a new phone because my screen keeps turning blue." She claimed it was from over-usage. Good one, Mom.

13. "I DIDN'T FAIL MY EXAMS I'M SO SMART AND GREAT YAY BE PROUD OF ME." Her response was something along the lines of "great honey, that's why I pay money for you to go there."

14. "So, um, I accidentally left food in my room, and what's that ant killer stuff you use at home?" It's called Terro, and I highly recommend it.

15. "Surprise!!! I told my friend I would adopt one of her kittens so I hope that's okay with you!" I don't have the kitten. It was not okay with her.
