I'm a bad texter, I get it. I also get that it's 2019, which means we live in a world solely revolved around technology as our mode of communication. Call me old fashioned but I don't want to have to rely on my phone to interact with people. So if you're dealing with a bad texter or are one yourself (bless your heart), here are 11 things that may sound like you.

1. People are surprised and celebrate when you responded less than 24 hours later.

2. You get the "Are you alive?" texts. All the time.

Giphy

It's fine, I'm fine.

3. People think of creative ways to get in touch with you.

Giphy

I.E. telegrams; snail mail, or in extreme situations, pigeons.

4. People never understand why you don't "just respond".

Giphy

5. At the end of the day, they know you just won't.

Giphy

It's fine, I'm fine.

6. You start to get a reputation.

7. You're a bad texter but great in person.

This is SUCH a big mood for the bad-texter people of the world. People assume that being a bad texter= a bad friend. I'm here to tell you that just because we aren't the most technologically reliable doesn't mean we won't be there in a heart beat for our friends.

8. You come back days (or weeks) later trying to continue the conversation.

It doesn't last long, though. People catch onto your trick really quickly and it never ends well.

9. People think by telling you to do better, it'll magically fix everything.

Giphy

Thank you Captain Obvious, I never thought of that. *Insert eye roll Emoji*.

10. Every year, your New Years resolution is to become a better texter.

Giphy

At least you don't have to think of any other resolutions you probably would break too.

11. With all said (or not said) and done, they love you anyway.

Giphy

Hopefully. Maybe a little bit.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
