13 Phone Calls Only Your Mom Can Appreciate

No one else cares about what you had for lunch.

13 Phone Calls Only Your Mom Can Appreciate
Rachel Gedosh

If you’re anything like me, you call your mom at least three times a day – sometimes eight. And if your mom is anything like mine, she finds it slightly annoying but humors you when you tell her about the socks you’re wearing. On average, there are things you can only call your mom about.

1. The cute animal you just saw.

*Calls mom.* *She doesn’t answer.* *Calls back.*

Mom: “What’s up?”

Me: “I just called to tell you about the cute gosling I just saw.”

This is an actual conversation I have had.

2. What you had for lunch.

*Proceeds to tell her exactly what you ate down to the number of fries.*

3. When you’re sick and need to know what medicine to take.

Mom: “For the last time, take an antihistamine.”

4. When you’re walking to class.

Me: “Just walking to class. Thought I’d say hi.”

5. How your exams went.

Hopefully, other people care about this one as well, but you know you call your mom first.

6. When you get done shopping.

Your mom is the only one who cares about that 75 percent off shirt from J Crew or that swimsuit from Target.

7. When you need to make a doctor’s appointment.

I’m 21 and still have my mom make my appointments.

8. When you’re heartbroken.

Enough said.

9. When you have drama.

Me: “You will not believe what Stephanie just did!"

10. Everything and all things female related.

“Can I die if I skip my period?” “Can I wear a tampon for 14 hours?” “How do you wash a bra?”

11. When your pet does anything.

Sadie just sneezed and it was adorable? Better call Mom.

12. When something funny happened to you but it’s really not that funny.

Only your mom would think it was funny.

13. When Brian, Austin, Chad, Dylan, etc. hasn’t texted you back and the anxiety is eating you alive.

PSA I have never texted a boy with these names.

We can’t take our moms for granted, they put up with a lot of stuff.

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.
