7 Types Of Moms You'll See During Move-In Day

Move-in week is approaching friends! In a short few days, we will all be piling everything that we can fit into our family cars and headed on the, hopefully, not too long but definitely cramped journey to our schools. College snuck up on you, didn't it? Well, it definitely didn't on your mom! While you have been waiting for this day your mom has been dreading it. So, prepare yourselves for all the momma drama that comes with move in! And try to guess what type of mom yours is bound to be.

1. The one who is happy to see their kid go.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYY! She without a doubt loves you, but she sure will be happy to have some extra space around the house. She is ready to get all this college stuff out of the house! But don't worry, she will be happy now but begging you to come back home on the weekends.

2. The one who doesn't know how to feel.

This mom is super excited for you! She can't wait for you to experience all the joys that come with college. On the inside, though she is a wreck!!!! She is so sad to see you go but is too happy for you. This mom probably needs to just cry it out and then she will be all set!

3. The one who is so over move in.

She cannot wait to be done! This mom loves order and move-in is anything but order. After countless trips, up and down stairs, she needs a minute. She is without a doubt ready for a long bath and a glass of wine after today. Side note, if you see your mom getting frustrated, give her a break! She's going through a lot!

4. The one who still doesn't know the plan.

This mom is so focused on getting everything together that she's forgetting the little big things about move-in, like the date! She has probably asked you about a million times for the date and time. She's not purposely trying to frustrate you, she has a million things on her mind!

5. The one that has yet to figure out that you live on the top floor and the elevator doesn't go up there.

She doesn't know what's going to hit here. Um, let's just hope that you can play it cool and act like you didn't know this! Your mom will most likely not believe you, but it's worth a shot. Try and ease the tension because she's going to be a little mad. Sorry to all the moms with kids on the floor that the elevator doesn't stop on!

6. The one who doesn't want to say goodbye.

All moms get emotional about move-in. But this mom is having the hardest time. She wants to stay with you until the last possible minute. She will need a box of tissues and a big hug when it's time for her to go! Good luck if you're her first going off to college! Be prepared to listen to all her warnings, even though she has repeated them at least a hundred times.

7. The one who is still crying after getting home from move in.... six hours ago.

Ding ding ding! This mom takes the cake! She has had such a long day with you and is an emotional wreck! She kept it strong in front of you but the minute she pulled away the water works began! Who can blame her though, her baby did just go off to college.

Be prepared for the good, bad and the ugly that comes with move in. While move-in can get super hectic, don't forget about mom! She needs love, LOTS OF IT! Be sure to share your predictions on which mom your mom will be

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
