7 Reasons My Mom Is Number One
Samantha Burns

Dear Mom,

It's Mother's Day on Sunday, and I don't always take the time to thank you for everything you do. Though I may not always tell you how much I thank you for being the best mom in the world, I want you to know that I truly appreciate everything you do for me day in and day out. And in honor of a day to celebrate you, here's seven reasons why you are number one.

1. You feed me.

From cooking amazing meals to buying me the occasional chicken nuggets, you always knows the key to my heart: food

2. You put up with my attitude.

Your attitude rubbed off onto me, and you put up with it effortlessly. Having teenagers is not easy, so hats off to you for dealing with me, Mom

3. You are always looking out for me.

Since day one, you have always been there for me. Whether it’s letting me cry in your arms when a boy breaks my heart to listening to me vent about silly things, you’re always there to keep me going.

4. You're my hero

You have been my role model for almost my entire life. You’ve guided me through life so I could be the best I could possibly be, and I couldn’t thank you enough for that.

5. You haved played two roles for my entire life, and rock at it.

Having an absent father hasn’t been the easiest, but you’ve managed to give me everything I’ve needed and more. I can’t even imagine the difficulty it has been trying to fill two roles at once, but you’ve done it effortlessly.

6. You support me in everything I do.

You’ve supported me in everything I’ve done since kindergarten. From school plays to sports games to dance recitals, you’ve been right there as my number one fan.

7. You're my best friend.

You’re truly my rock. Our relationship hasn’t always been the strongest that it should have been, but when I’ve needed you the most, you never failed to disappoint. You’ve raised me into the strong, independent woman I am today and I wouldn’t be where I am without you.

Happy Mother's Day Mommy, I love you to the moon and back.

Xoxo

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
