One of the hardest things for me about being in college is being away from the people I love. This includes my little pup, my sisters, my dad and my mom. There are just certain things mothers can fix, that nobody else in the world can. Here are 5 examples of times I wish my mom could be at college with me.

1. After a long day of classes, and all I want is a hug.

There is nothing more healing than a mother’s hug. After hours spent on a project, or just feeling like the world is against me. Whatever is wrong in the world can be fixed for just a moment with my mom's hugs.

2. When I'm confused and need advice.

For some reason, my mom always has the right answers. She always knows what to do in any given situation. When faced with difficult decisions, all I want is my mom. No matter how big or small the decision might seem. From what matches with my boots, to how I email my teachers, I want my mom's advice.

3. When I have to wake up early.

There is nothing more comforting than a mother’s smile. In high school when it felt like I could never get out of bed, my mom would come into my room and somehow her presence made it easier. Whether it was her comforting nudge or heart-warming smile. she made early wakeup calls that much easier.

4. When something funny happens.

My mom is one of my best friends. There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to just run home and tell her a crazy story. Instead, it’s just waiting for her to pick up the phone and seems like the ringing lasts forever.

5.When I’m bored.

My mom can make anything entertaining, we can just sit and talk for hours on end. And when I’m sitting in my dorm room, alone and bored, all I want is my mom.
