Calling My Mom My Best Friend

Everyone has a mother. In fact, it is physically impossible to not have one. Some people are close with their mothers, others have no idea who their mother even is. However, I'm one of the lucky few who can call mine not only my mother but my best friend.

Before I get in depth about why my mother is my best friend, let me give you a little insight on her. First, she works harder than anyone I know, she puts in at least ten hours a day at her full-time job, then comes home and works for two to three hours more on her other job. All those hours, not including taking care of me, feeding our family, or taking on the responsibilities of a mother. She also takes on teenagers or children as her own. Meaning, if anyone comes to my mom asking for help, she will do everything in her power to give them what they need. My mom is the most kind-hearted, caring, and loving person I know, and I am beyond grateful to call her mine.

My mom and I have "shopping days," as we call them (they don't happen too often, though because they are very expensive.) We have movie nights, or T.V show nights, where we binge watch criminal minds until we can't make it through another episode without falling asleep. We even have times where we just go get ice cream and talk about life. She rants to me about what's troubling her, as I do the same. All in all, my mother and I do everything together.

Now on to the serious stuff. My mom is always there for me when it comes to boys, school, or even what to wear that day. My mother is also one of my biggest fans. She pushes me to do something I'm afraid to do and roots me on as she watches me succeed. She supports all of my decisions (even if she doesn't agree.) She truly takes on the role of a best friend. I can tell her all of my secrets and trust that she won't tell anyone. She makes me laugh, cry, and even wonder how I got so lucky.

Most of you are probably thinking, "Man, my mom gets on my nerves and you're calling yours your best friend?" Yes, I am calling her my best friend, but, yes, she also gets on my nerves. However, just like any other best friend, we get in fights. Your opinion is not always the same as theirs, just like my mom and I. We actually have our fair share of arguments; we just know how to discuss them appropriately instead of them getting out of hand. Even though my mom gets on my nerves, that doesn't change how I feel about her. She will forever be that hardworking, kind-hearted, loving, adoring, and caring mother. She will forever be my best friend.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
