21 Things You Say To Your Mom In College, Pretty Much Every Semester

Type Set

1. "How do I cook this?"

To be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing.

2. "How long does it take until this expires?"

At home you would usually be the one to keep track of what's good and what's bad.

3. "How do I get this stain out?"

I need this shirt to wear tomorrow, but it has a really noticeable stain.

4. "I need a pedicure so bad."

My toes need some real work done, but I don't want to pay for it. I hope you picked up on that.

5. Can you venmo me money?

Well...

6. "Can you facetime me, but just so I can see the dog?"

I really want to see his cute face.

7. "What did you do today?"

I'm bored and feel out of the loop. Tell me all about what you did at home.

8. "This professor makes me want to fling myself off a building. I might just drop out."

Sometimes I really don't get what is going through my professors' minds.

9. "Can we go on vacation?"

Yeah, I can't "adult" anymore. I need a break.

10. "Hey. I'm bored in class."

Please distract me even though I really probably should be paying attention.

11. "You better have bagels, pizza and pasta ready for me when I come home."

I miss all the good food spots from at home, and I miss having your home cooked meals every night.

12. "What should I take if I have a cough?"

Motrin? Advil? Tylenol? Aleve? All 4?

13. "Can you order this on Amazon Prime for me so I don't have to pay for it?"

I know I could probably find it at a store nearby, but I would really rather not get out of bed if it isn't necessary and I also don't want to spend my own money on it.

14. "I didn't eat today because the food makes me want to vomit, but I'm also too broke to buy food from somewhere else."

It's like eating garbage at this point.

15. "Can you send me a care package?"

Getting mail is exciting and my candy stash is running low.

16. "I don't even want anything for Christmas. I just need money."

Like previously mentioned, my wallet is empty.

17. "What should I pack?"

Everything I've needed has been in my dorm with me for months, and I have no idea what I will and won't need when I leave.

18. "How do I refill my prescription?"

I have no idea how to "adult."

19. "I'm never taking an early class ever again."

If I get stuck with another early class next semester, be prepared for all the complaints.

20. "I hate boys. Make me feel better."

Enough said.

21. "I love you and can't wait to see you!"

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
