I Hope To Be Half The Mother My Mom Is

With mothers day coming up, everyone finds a way to think of ways their moms are amazing. Whether it is your mom, stepmom, caretaker, a mom who passed, etc. Moms have given us everything.

I remember being high school and being the worst teenager. I was always so moody and rude and crazy towards my parents because of everything going on in life. Honestly, I did not even have that much going on, I was just a rude and hormonal teenager. Well, now that I am in college I have definitely had time to reflect back on my high school days. It makes me upset so think about how I treated my mom and my dad sometimes. After all, they have done absolutely everything for me.

They dealt with me and my twin brother, and they are now dealing with twins in college. On top of that, they are now dealing with my little brother who is also now a moody teenager in high school. After becoming older and being more mature, I appreciate my parents so much and I make sure to tell them every day.

I probably am so annoying because I call my mom like 4 times a day asking her questions and telling her random things about my life. She sits back and laughs and listens to me every day. It is so important to call your parents every day and just see how they are and tell them that you love them.

My mom grew up with a strict mom, and she has learned a lot from it. Now, her parenting style is definitely on the stricter side but she is also lenient about most things. It is perfect for me. Her strict parenting style has taught me to be strong and disciplined, and her lenient parenting style has taught me to be more on my own and independent and take consequences for actions.

The point of all of this is to say how appreciative I am of my mom and how much we all should appreciate the ones that take care of us. I know that there are times you might never get along, because trust me, my mom and I have been through many rough patches. However, they have only made us stronger and it has only made me realize how right she is about everything.

With mothers day coming up, tell your mom or anyone that takes care of you that you love them. No matter what, they will always be by your side through anything and everything. You are their child and their love forever through any circumstance.

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.
