My Mom Is The Best

She is the greatest at so many things.

1. Her Honesty

My mom is one of the most honest people I know and she isn't afraid to tell anyone the truth whether it hurts their feelings or not. She has always told my siblings and I the truth no matter how much we didn't want to hear it.

2. Her Humor

If there is one thing that my mom has it has to be humor. My mom has a ball-cracking jokes on my siblings, my dad, herself or me. My mom doesn't care where she is she will always find an opportunity to crack some type of joke on someone.

3. Her Perseverance

This one is huge because without my mom I don't think my siblings or I would have ever gotten any of those State projects done had she not helped or stayed up late to finish it for us because we mentioned it last minute.

4. Her Sarcasm

If there is one thing I mastered from my mom it is most definitely sarcasm. If you ask a irrelevant question it's more than likely to get a sarcastic answer from my mom no matter how much you wish she would take you serious.

5. Her Sacrifices

My mom has always sacrificed many things for my siblings and I happiness. Whether it be her sleep or her sanity. Because if there is one thing she disliked most, it would the times I did cheerleading.

6. Her Goofiness

My mom is extremely goofy and she has no problem admitting to it. She always knows just what to do to earn a laugh from me. I could be having a terrible day and my mom always finds a way to make me laugh whether it be messing with my siblings or cracking jokes on them.

7. Her Home-cooked Meals

Moving away to college has came with this huge perk. I never knew how much I missed her cooking than I did leaving for school. I cherish all the times she has sent me to school with her homemade sausage gravy. Not to mention coming home for break and getting to choose what we eat for dinner.

8. Her Determination

My mom has taught me many things but nothing has stuck to me more than watching her set her mind to something and never stray from it until she achieved it. Her determination sometimes can be fun to watch especially when she makes it her goal to bug my siblings and see how long it'll take for them to break and start to get irritated.

9. Her Obsession With "The Walking Dead"

It started out with my brother watching on Netflix then it turned into it becoming her show she enjoyed. The day she finished that show was fun to watch because she was determined to catch up so that she could watch the current season.

10. Her Open-Door Policy

If there is one thing I learned, it's that no matter who you were and no matter what you did you could come to my mom. My mom has always welcomed our friends to our home and treated them as one of her own and that even meant loving them like they were one of us. All of my friends have always told me that my mom was never just my mom; she was also their mom.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

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.
