My mom and I have had quite the relationship over the past almost 21 years. When I was little my mom came to everything I had at school, lead my girl scout troop, and made every birthday party perfect. In middle school and high school, I was the typical angsty teenager. I was pretty mean to her and she "embarrassed" me everywhere we went.

Now that I'm in college, I can say for certain that my mom is my absolute best friend.

1. You talk (text or phone call) every day

My freshman year, it was my mom calling me to check in on how school was and how my new life in college was. Now that I'm a Junior, I am the one that calls her to talk about nothing. I call her when I'm walking to class or coming home for work, just to tell her minor details about my day. I honestly probably annoy her with how much I call her, but that's what daughters do.

2. She is the first person you call or text for advice

Whether it's asking outfit advice (my mom majored in fashion merchandise) or if the food in my fridge is good or not, she is the first person I call.

3. And when it's advice about boys, no one hears it before your mom

My mom knows my boy history and isn't surprised when I tell her I like a boy one day and then the next I'm like "LOL never mind." As much as I don't want to admit it, she's usually pretty good at figuring out who's a douche bag and who's worth my time.

4. When you see an event on facebook you say "Wow, that'd be so fun for mom and me to go to"

Just in the past week, I've seen two concerts and a 5K (which we would walk) on Facebook that I literally said this out loud to. And all of these things, of course, means going out to eat to a good place to eat after. We're foodies, what can I say?

5. You feel so lucky to have such a strong, beautiful, and inspiring woman in your life

All true and VERY VERY VERY lucky.

Love you mom. To the moon and back and more.
