In This Article:

I may not be the typical college student, but I really do call my mom at least once a day on average. Sometimes they're happy reasons, sometimes sad and sometimes downright dumb. Still, she's my mom, and I need her always.

1. Whenever I meet a new boy.

"Mom, he's really cute, and he asked me on a date."

2. Whenever I get back with some boy that hurt me already.

"Okay, don't get mad, but I forgave him. Please talk me out of it."

3. When I get out of a really rough exam.

"I think this one was it. My last exam. Mom, I need to drop out. It's actually happening this time."

4. When I'm sick.

"Mommy my head hurts and I'm sore everywhere but I have to go to this class. What medicine should I take?"

5. When I get a test back that I got a good grade on.

"Okay Mom, I know I said I failed that exam, but turns out I got the highest score. I guess I don't really need to drop out of school. Yet."

6. When I want to talk to my sister. 

Bobbie Hall

"Yes, I know I could've called her phone, but she never answers my calls and is always with you anyway. This way you can't lie that she's right there and therefore she cannot ignore me."

7. When another boy breaks my heart.

"I don't know, I guess I'm still a stupid little baby that never sees this coming. What's wrong with me Mom?"

8. When I want to surprise my family or friends. 

Bobbie Hall

"I would love to surprise you with coming home someday, Mom, but you're the only one organized enough for me to make plans with so that everyone is there."

9. When I finally start dating a good guy.

"Mom, I really want you to meet him. He's nice, and smart, and I don't know, I just really really like him."

10. When something reminded me of home.

Bobbie Hall

"Why am I calling this time? Oh I just saw a cat, which reminded me of home, and figured I'd call to see what's up."

11. When I run out of money.

"Moommmm! How are you? I bet you look lovely today. So the thing is..."

12. When I just really miss my mom. 

Bobbie Hall

"Mom, I know I said I wasn't coming home for another month, but I miss you. I'll be home Friday."

Show your mom some love today and give her a call. No matter the reason, she'll really appreciate it.

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.
