When late August rolls around and you are dying to live away from home, you are thinking of all the new wonderful people you will meet and the things you will experience being at a big university and dreaming of your future. You never truly think how much you will miss your mom because you have been with her for the past 18 years. Once you are at school, you will come to realize the things you took for granted at home. One of them being your mother. Many things contribute to how much closer you become to your mom even when you’re miles apart.
1. She will never judge you, she may be the only person who doesn’t, but she will accept you and love your character. Sure we are all afraid to let our moms know the things we have done away at school, but many girls forget our mothers were 19, 20 and 21 at one point in time too. Your mother will always support you and guide you no matter how much of an adult you think you are, she has raised you and gotten you thus far.
2. You realize while you’re working hard at school, she is working even harder to provide a home and pay tuition for you to go to an awesome school and receive a degree. As you are working your ass off at school you realize you aspire to be like her more and more each day because just like you, she went through the same thing in college, and look at her now!
3. She is always only a call away. Your mother may be the only person you can absolutely rely on for anything. Once you’re at school and begin to experience living on your own, you will have tons of questions for her and will find yourself calling her on several occasions and possibly up to 10 times a day. Whether you’re sad, happy, excited, drunk… you will always call your mom to let her know. And she will always be happy to hear from your voice.
4. She will always respond to a text, if its 2 a.m. or 11 p.m. and you’re stressed about finals, at some point she will respond with a loving message, receiving this from her may make you that more positive and less stressed about all the work you are drowning in. Those few sentences of a text and 5 seconds of encouragement make any situation you’re dealing with all the better.
5. Last but not least reason… the food. You will never understand how good her cooking is until you can’t have it anymore. Even though in the past you have been picky with what she makes for dinner, coming home on weekends and breaks you will never pass up the opportunity to eat what she makes. The best part about her cooking is you can save the leftovers and bring them to school, or her baking skills may just come in a package for you in the mail.
