A Letter To The Light Of My Life, My Mom

To my Mom,

You are my best friend. Often times people claim it is not good to be best friends with your kid. I’m so glad you don’t listen to other people or I would have missed out on the best friendship in my life. First, you are my mom, but more importantly, you are the person who is there for me at all hours of the day, through any situation. You are the person who has seen me at my worst and my best. You remind me of my worth when I don’t see it. Most importantly, you show me more love any human ever has in 21+ years. That makes you more than my mom, that makes you my best friend.Thank you for those "us” days. You will never know how much those days we had to ourselves got me through the hard times. Whether we went to eat, shop, or drive around I always felt better at the end of the day. You pulled me through some dark days and you were truly the light at the end of my tunnel so many times. The “us” days made me feel so loved. The "us" days are the days I still live for

I love being able to say, "I get it from my momma!" Being in your twenties and hearing you look like your mom is not always girl’s favorite line. However, I love I hearing that I look like you, because have you seen yourself?!? But, in all seriousness, I really hope I get your genes and looks just like you forever.

You showed me kindness and for that, I’m forever grateful. It is no secret that I grew up surrounded by some mean girls, but you showed me the importance of kindness. You showed me how being the kind person is always better in the end. You taught me to be better, to be more kind than the people who were not kind to me. You taught me to rise above the mean girls.

Thank for all the holidays. It is because of you that I love holidays so much. You put your heart, thought, and money into making sure everyone holidays are filled with joy, happiness, love, and laughter, and a full belly. The holidays are always fun with you because you make them so special for everyone!

You are the most selfless person I know. To say you go above and beyond for me is an understatement. I now know so many times you have been without, just so I can have the extras. You put the family before yourself with no questions. You will do anything for our family and for that I can never repay you, or say thank you enough.

I could not live a day without you. You get me through every single day of life. I cannot go without talking to you. I feel the need to call you multiple times a day over irrelevant things. But, without your voice and reassurance, I could not get through a single day. You are always taking care of me (even though I’m 21). You are the person I need every single day.

I love you forever, Mommy,

Your girl

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
