The Best Weekend: Mom's Weekend

Let me start out by saying I love my mother. She is my number one, and my mentor. She taught me everything I know. She thinks I'm an angel (because I am) that frequents the library, keeps his face in the books, and generally sacrifices a whole lot of time for the sake of education. While I do go to the library, sometimes, and I do hit the books hard, how on earth do you warn your mom about what's about to happen later that evening?

The first time I had my mother over to the house, I was terrified. I cleaned, I disinfected, I did literally everything I could to ensure that my mom did not think that I was a degenerate living in a pile of empty beer cans, stale food and dirty underwear. Oh, I was nervous, alright -- not to introduce her to my friends, but to introduce her to what we had planned for that night. Consisting primarily of wine and more wine, it really unnerved my mom's initial impression. However, when introduced to other moms around the party, the night was quickly saved. The day afterwards, my mother told me that she was nervous at first but when she made some friends it was just like the old days for her. Mother's weekend is a great way for moms to unwind for a weekend.

Having sorority mothers over is quoted by Akon as "the dopest weekend ever because they bring really nice booze and it's hilarious seeing a bunch of drunk moms running around." What starts out as innocent small talk, quickly snowballs into a much more lively scene. Once the liquid courage starts to build up, mothers hit the dance floor like they have never done before. Friendships form in a matter of seconds simply because you made a stupid joke about your friend to her mom. The best part about those friendships is that not only will the mom maybe hook you up with some really nice booze, but you also might have the opportunity to rub in your friends face that "your mom is in love with me."

Eventually the mothers get tuckered out. Even coming into the party with the, "I have to be able to hang out with my son's/daughter's friends, I'm not old yet" mentality, all moms hit their limit. Rides are called and hugs are given at the door. Moms make friends with their kid's friends and everyone is happy.

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.

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.
