As much as we love our moms, we can't take them out to our favorite frats or to pool parties when they come to visit. Coming up with things to do together may not be the easiest task, but here are a few options to consider when mom comes to town:

1. Go to a restaurant and finally get a decent meal.

After eating at the union or around campus for weeks on end, your mom will be able to take you out to eat at a place that's not Panda Express or Chic-Fil-A.

2. Get your nails, hair, eyebrows, etc. done.

You've felt like it's been ages since you have gotten a good manicure and your mom coming to town is the perfect opportunity to do some bonding while getting your appearance back together again.

3. Visit Mount Lemmon.

Taking your mom on a hike to Mount Lemmon is a great way to show her some of the beautiful views of Tucson while spending time together outdoors.

4. Go grocery shopping and restock your room.

By the time mom comes, your mini-fridge has probably become more than empty and her being here is the perfect time to replenish the lack of snacks in your dorm room.

5. Go shopping.

Shopping is a great way to catch up on your life away at college while also giving your wardrobe a very needed update.

6. Have her meet your new friends.

You know your mom is dying to see who you've met so far in college and if you introduce her to your new friends she'll probably look like this:

In the end, your mom is just happy to see you and wants nothing more than to spend time with you. Take advantage of her wanting to come down to Tucson and make the best of her trip and your time together!
