25 Phone Calls College Freshman Have With Their Mom

I get it, you’re a freshman in college, you can handle life all on your own right? Oh for sure. You can take on the world with one hand! Ha, think again. Don’t lie to me, or yourself, we both know you still call your mom in these situations because for some reason even when she is nowhere near you, she is the only one who can tell you the answer to all your problems and always knows what to do. Some of these I am guilty of and some come from other people around campus.

*Story shared with me

1. “Mom what do I do when my throat hurts?” {Admit it, you know what to do, but you still need the motherly touch of advice.

2. “That cute boy in my class asked me out but I’m not trying to date right now… but he is so cute!” {No worries, mom has your back saying to just meet for coffee, casual yet effective.

3. “The world hates me mom, all my professors assigned 5 hours of homework a piece!!” {All the walls in the world seem to be crashing down on you… leave it to mom to give you a reality check and remind you that no one hates you and everything will ease up soon enough.

4. *“I think the food at the dining center is inedible…” {“You’ll live sweetie”.

5. *When you just miss the comfort of being home and feel a little homesickness

6. *“Can you overdose on birth control?”

7. *“I lost the birth control pill I was supposed to take for today... what do I do??” {Mom: “Nothing. Get back on track tomorrow”

8. “Is my pet doing okay without me?” (You can’t help but ask this whenever you are away… your pet has our heart!)

9. *“Can I take both Benadryl and cough syrup together?” {Or just ask anytime you want to take 2 medications

10. “What’s our insurance?” {Probably should have this memorized by now but being an adult is hard

11. “Put Nellie on FaceTime” (Nellie is my cat)

12. “How do you make a resume?” {The job applications are starting

13. *“How do I make a dentist/doctor appointment?”

14. *“Can I wash whites and colors… I’m broke mom... washing clothes is expensive”

15. “What’s your credit card number?” {Times are hard as a freshman in college... deep breaths...

16. *I call my mom to talk to her about funny things I hear on campus

17. “Will you still love me even if I flunk out?”

18. (Sometimes our schedule doesn’t work with our mothers... like in this example shared with me) *Last time I called my mom she told me she was watching her favorite TV show and to call her back at a better time

19. “What’s my social security number?”

20. *Last time I called my mom she told me she didn’t mean to call me but wanted to talk to my twin (Its okay, this happens to everyone at least once)

21. *“How do I change a tire? Asking for a friend… (But actually can you help me?)”

22. “Can you come up and cook me dinner mom?”

23. *“I wasn’t going thaaaattt fast but the cop disagreed”

24. "I love you mom" {You can't say this enough

25. "No mom I don't need anything, I just wanted to call and say hi!"

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.

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.
