There are no better three letter words than God and Mom.

My mom is LITERALLY my best friend. Okay, that may seem cliché or super cheesy, but she is always my go-to person.

When I am having a rough day, I call my mom.

When I am having the best day, I call my mom.

My mood can be all the way from happy to sad, and I will still find a reason to speak with my mom.

Being away at college has been tough, but very rewarding.

I say rewarding because of how tight the hugs are from your family members when you have not been home in a few weeks and the happy tears that may be shed.

Also, how excited your pets get when they see you. For example, pulling up in my driveway back at home and seeing my dog with a toy in her mouth waiting at the door to greet me with her tail wagging uncontrollably. Then, my outside cats running to my car and standing outside my door waiting to rub on my legs.

Thankfully, I have my mom to keep me up to date on all of my fur babies and send me pictures of them even when I do not ask for them.

It is just the little things that brighten my whole day and remind me how truly blessed I am.

While I miss all of my family and pets, I know our space away from each other is needed. Everyone needs their space, even family members.

My mom and I have our differences every once in a while, but what mother and daughter don't? At the end of the day, I am so thankful to have such an amazing relationship with her, and I cannot tell her how extremely appreciative I am for all that she has done and continues to do for my brother and me.

This was for you mom, I love you. XOXO

Right now, I advise you to all go call your mom, hug your mom, and thank your mom.

For those who do not have a good connection with their moms or no longer have their moms, I pray that you find someone who warms you up with kind words and gives you great advice.

As long as you have a special person like that in your life, then it will help you get by and allow you to always have someone to call no matter what the mood may be. You are loved, God's got you!

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.
