Trust me, I'm into the fad of watching famous people make fools of themselves on TV.

I get a real kick out of seeing celebrities cry about losing an earring that could pay for my college tuition and then some. But nothing beats sitting back and watching shows as old (if not older) than me.

1. "Golden Girls"

A dumb blonde, a sassy mother, a sexual vixen, and a sophisticated teacher all over the age of 50. What more could you ask for? With "Golden Girls", you got all that, plus more laughs than you can handle, stories about a town that doesn't exist (but you start to believe does), and more knowledge about "Sicily, 1922" than you could get in ten years' worth of history classes.

2. "Murder, She Wrote"

No matter where Jessica Fletcher went, she always managed to be around when a murder occurred. And she would solve it. This mystery writer/mystery solver is what first showed me the thrill of figuring out if it really was Colonel Mustard who killed Mrs. Peacock in the library with a candlestick.

3. "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman"

A kick-butt woman doctor in the old American West who really didn't need a man to survive? Sign me up to be the next her. Intelligent, independent, and took no crap from anyone, Michaela Quinn was what all women should want to be. (And no, not just because I was named after her, either.)

4. "Diagnosis Murder"

There is just something about the Van Dyke men... And this show just added to it. A doctor who just so happens to work with his cop son to solve murders: What could be better? Plus, the whole "gang" just made the show that much more addicting.

5. "Full House"

As if Uncle Jesse wasn't enough to make you watch this show, the love this wacko family had for one another did it. I know my dad would go crazy raising one girl, but Dan Tanner raised three with the help of his two crazy best friends. The overly-animated friends they made and the style made this show a 10/10, would recommend.

6. "Walker, Texas Ranger"

Who doesn't love Chuck Norris? And Chuck Norris as the law in Texas... Hot dog, I'm packing my bags and headed there now.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
