4 Things I've Learned From My Mama

Throughout all of my life, I've been a serious mama's girl. Whenever she would leave to just run an errand without me as a little girl, I would bawl my eyes out and throw a huge fit. If she would cry, I'd cry. If she would smile, I'd smile. If I couldn't fall asleep at night, I would mosey out to the couch and she would let me lay with her until I fell asleep.

And now that I am in college, my mama isn't always there. I've had to learn to be on my own and to make my own choices without my mama there to tell me what to do. And sometimes, I regret these decisions. And she gets mad that I make the decisions I do. But she has taught me 4 key things throughout my life, that have made me the woman I am today. And I will never stop having that little feeling inside that screams "I need my mama."

1. If you dream it, you can achieve it

She has taught me to never stop working towards my goals. No wonder I was always your "me do it girl!" I learned from the best!

2. When times get tough, pray

Even though I never want to admit it, sometimes a good prayer knows how to make you feel better.

3. Stand tall, and always stay kind

You never know what someone is going through, so Mama H has always taught me to be kind and to be compassionate no matter what someone is going through!

4. Always stay true to yourself


Mama H did exactly that when she got this hunk for her birthday present! I still can't believe Aaron Rodgers showed up for her work birthday party!


I love you forever and ever, Mama H! Thanks for always being there for me throughout my whole life, and teaching me to be the best I can be.

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.
