Since day one, my mom has been my biggest motivator and loudest supporter. She never fails to protect me and stand up for me, doing whatever it is she knows I need from her.

Even though I've always been very close with my mom, I often look back on times where I wish I would have been nicer to her. Being away at college has made me realize how much she really does for me, and has also made me appreciate her even more.

Here are some things I wish I would have told my mom more often.

1. Thank you

This seems simple, but there are so many times I wish I would have thanked my mom. From driving me to school, to doing my laundry and cooking, she deserves a thank you for all the hard work she puts in to make my life better.

2. I'm sorry

I wish I would apologize to my mom more often for the times where I take my anger out on her or have a bad attitude towards her even though she did nothing to deserve it.

3. Do you need help?

My whole life, my mom has constantly been doing things to help me. She does laundry, cooks and cleans, walks the dog, and works. There are too many times where I find myself comfortable with letting her pull the whole load, and I know I should help her more.

4. I support you

My mom has always supported me in everything I do, and it's sometimes easy to overlook the fact that parents need support too. I wish I would be a bigger cheerleader for my mom sometimes, and encourage her the way she does with me.

5. I'm thankful for you

Not only am I thankful for all that my mom does, but I am thankful for who she is. She is bold and unique and unapologetically herself, and I'm so thankful to have such a cool mom.

6. I love you

Even though I tell my mom I love her pretty often, I really can never say it too much.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.

And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
