This era of the 21st century has changed a lot about the functionality of this world. Women being housewives is more of a choice now, rather than a compulsion. With that being said, a lot of us have working moms. They are the pillars of our family, the superheroines that save your ass every time it is on the verge of getting hit. We are inspired by them at least 10 times in one single day. But amongst all of us, there is a percentage of people whose mothers are nothing less than workaholics! They are work monsters or true magicians perhaps. In the constant split between work and home, no-one knows how they manage…

Workaholic moms are the kind to only change their outfits twice in a day- once, from their night suits to their work clothes, and then, from their office attires to their sleeping gowns. If you think you know someone who falls in the category, this is it. Here are the best situations you go through for having workaholics for mothers:

1. She decides your haircuts, no questions asked

No way you're dreaming about the Kardashian lifestyle, my dear. If it's her way (which it will always be), your hair is going to be short. Most suitable for a corporate setup!

2. You've learned all your excuses for running late from her

You're both all about the 'chasing the clock' kinda life.

3. She questions your intellect on every opportunity

Your habit of not applying your brain brings physical pain to her.

4. If you're her first child, her cell phone is her second

You've been replaced, it's true. Make room for the adopted sibling!

5. You know how to survive without home-cooked meals SO WELL!

When it comes to food, life is a party!

6. She asks you the same question 98230173 times

Chances are she has been too mentally occupied to even realize the question has been answered a lot of times now..."For the fiftieth time now, yes, I took the trash out!!!"

7. She will despise your ripped jeans until your last day


It's decided, I will have to turn antisocial and live low. World fashion and my mother don't go hand-in-hand.

Working moms are, honestly, the biggest and smallest entertainment factors of your lives. Smallest, because they are not present with you physically, and biggest because no matter what you do, they are always in the back of your minds. You are always guessing what their reaction might be to whatever you're doing.

I will always be amazed by the amount of energy they have to be able to constantly manage work, home, and your moronic activities.

They are true magicians. Nope, scratch that. They are God.

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.

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.
