8 Signs You And Your Mom Are IRL Manifestations Of Lorelai And Rory Gilmore
The CW

If you've ever seen "Gilmore Girls" like me, you compare the relationship Lorelai and Rory have to your own mother-daughter relationship. That bond you have with your mother can be very special. If you don't have that relationship with your mother, or if you have it with your dad, then you're missing out. Because I consider my mom to be one of my very best friends — someone I can trust with anything.

And in response to articles saying that your mom shouldn't be your best friend because she's your mother, I want to clear things up: my mother is my mother first, but my best friend second. My mother still disapproves when my bank account gets overdrawn or tells me to go clean my room. She still is my mother, will always be my mother, and will always be that authority figure. However, my mom is still my best friend no matter what all those articles say.

We're best friends, just like Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. And here's why.

1. You go to everything together, even if it's before 11 a.m.

2. When she's on a diet, you're on a diet.

3. You both laugh at the same, weird things.

4. You call her to hear how her day went, every day.

5. You two drive-thru Taco Bell and have to "hide the evidence" before you get home so your family doesn't see.

6. When you both have juicy drama to share...

7. Visiting your college like...

8. Reminding her that you love her after you hang up the phone because she's your best friend...

See? A mother-daughter relationship is one of the most important relationships a girl can have. Sure, her dad (and brothers) protect her but every girl needs her mom.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
