I am only a little over a month into school and it has hit me, and it's hit me hard, on way more than a few occasions, that I still need my mom.

Mom's are able to make anything and everything better. You don't realize how much you miss them until your first tummy ache. When it's 11:30 p.m. on a school night and you want to text your mom so bad but you already know she is in bed, fast asleep.

Or when a part of your body hurts. Sure you can call or text her but she is only going to tell you to take some ibuprofen and forget about it. There's just something that automatically makes you feel better when you are in the comfort of your own home and she tells you to take ibuprofen.

Or when you're having a bad day. College is stressful. Sometimes all I need is to hear the voice of someone that loves me to help reassure me it will all be okay. Sure, you make tons of friends in college. Some of them you become really close with. But it's not home and it's not your mom so they obviously don't love you like your mom. And there is nothing better in this world than being loved by someone.

Mom is always the best go to when you're not feeling like yourself or you're feeling down. Things happen. People get sad, happy, excited, depressed, upset and are overwhelmed by so many other emotions. Calling mom to hear her say you're still pretty, you're still kind hearted and you're still loved by so many people will never get old. Just like calling mom to hear her say she is proud of you after you aced a really hard exam or that you got a job or just that you're doing well will always be a confidence booster.
