If Your Mom Is Your Best Hype Man, Great— That's How It Should Be
Nacha Promsatian

My mother and I are inseparable. I used to be super glued to her and to be honest I still am. My stepfather used to say stuff like "cut the cord" but let's be real here, why would I? My mom is literally my best friend and the best hype man a girl could ask for.

I have self-esteem issues (surprise!), but really, who doesn't?

Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough for a job, the school I'm attending or just overall I feel lesser than everyone else. I know every girl has a friend group or just that one friend they call to get the validation they need. For me, it's my mother.

On top of being my best supporter, my mother is the best hype man of all time. She reminds me of who I am.

I call her for everything; from which laundry detergent to buy to what I should wear to a date, she's my go-to girl. She tells me the situation as is and never apologizes for being overly blunt (sometimes it sounds kinda mean but the truth hurts!).

My mother knows me the best, apart from me literally coming out of her body (yikes, gory) she was the one who raised me. She instilled my values and taught my brother and me, the good and bad in this world.

However, her and I were never this close. We used to bud heads like we both had nothing to lose. Eventually, as I've gotten older, we talked about her goals, motives and the sacrifices she made for me to be here. For that, I could not thank her enough because I've lived a great life so far.

She's mastered the art of being both a mom and a friend.

As a mom, she'd scare the crap out of me and as a friend she'd judge my wardrobe hardcore. Both sides of her just wanted the best for me so I never minded.

My mom reminds me of who I am, where I'm from and how she raised me. She believed in me before I even started believing in myself. Having a crew of girlfriends is great but call your mom before anyone else for a good hype because she probably knows you the best.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
