Mom, you are the strongest, most supportive, and understanding person I know. You have taught me so much about how to treat others, how to succeed in everything I do, and how to stand back up stronger than ever when I fall. Thank you for always listening to me no matter what (even if all I talk about is wanting a cat or puppy).

1. You always listen

Whenever I'm happy, sad, or any emotion in between I know you will always want to listen to me. You let me talk my head off about my friends, school, new experiences, and how much I love cats. You are always there as my shoulder to cry on if I'm sad or stressed about school and I love knowing you'll always be all ears.

2. You let me make my own decisions

When I come to you for advice, you tell me how you feel but you also understand that I'm going to make my own decisions, (like the time I got 2 tattoos in one day). I'm so thankful that I can ask you for your opinion without you forcing it on me but I also appreciate the times you have given me advice that has made me see the bigger picture.

3. You support me

Thank you for never thinking less of me when I don't make the best decisions. I know you will always love me and support me as long as I am happy and that means the world to me. I cherish the fact that I can tell you anything and you will still have my back.

4. You trust me

Thank you for always trusting me, my decisions, and my actions. I could never thank you enough for always knowing that I am telling you the truth about where I am going, what I'm doing, or decisions that I am making. I love knowing you trust me to make the right choices to better my future without questioning.

5.You can always make everything better

If I'm having a bad day I can always call you and immediately become reassured. You always know exactly what to say. Thank you for always making me feel like everything is going to be okay even if I don't believe it myself.

6. You've shown me how to be resilient

I've learned so much from watching you. You always stick it out when the going gets tough. You have shown me what it means to be a strong, independent, and confident woman. You taught me to be resilient in the face of adversity.

7. You always love me no matter what

I know no matter where life takes me you will always love me. Mom, thank you for everything you have done for me and the example you have set. I love you more than you know.

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.

Student Life

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.
