Moms Can Do Anything

I think It's kind of like a superpower.

Moms Can Do Anything

I realized not too long ago that my mom is able to accomplish just about anything. She has always been there for me, and supported me since I was little. But I just noticed that any time I've gotten hung up on something, or can't fix something, I take it to my mom. My mom has always helped me with any little issue I come across that I cannot solve on my own, and I'm really thankful for that.

It's kind of like a superpower, the way my mom can just solve every problem that is brought to her. Somehow she doesn't even get frustrated by it - or at least she doesn't show it. I remember when I was little, I had a jewelry box that I carelessly just threw my jewelry in and walked around with it. This caused all of my cheap necklaces to get tangled into a little ball, and it made me so angry every time. It happened pretty often, and I always tried to untangle them myself. I eventually got fed up each time and just took the little jewelry ball to my mom. She would sit quietly for a few minutes, and before I knew it, my necklaces were as good as new.

It was the little things like my jewelry knots that let me know that as a college student I can still go to my mom with the little things that frustrate me. For example, I'm a horrible decision maker, so anytime I need some reassurance about school related things, I just take some time to talk to her - she helps me rationalize my thoughts. She can make a stressful situation so simple.

My mom also seems to know everything. If I'm ever confused about this whole "adulting" thing, I just call my mom. She knows how to help me when I have to make doctor appointments, and she knows how to help me contact the insurance company. Need a new car? She is great at negotiating prices - take her with you. Have to do your taxes? Just hand them over to mom, they'll be done in a day! And the awesome thing is, she teaches you all of this stuff. She gives you the information you need to do it on your own in the future (even though you will probably still ask her to help).

If I'm ever sick, she will know what I should take and what I should do to feel better. She never stops surprising me. Anytime I'm put in a difficult situation, I can trust that she will either have an answer for me, or she will find one.

I'm so thankful for moms and their superpowers. I've noticed that even if a mom raises another person's kids, she is still somehow blessed with these powers. I am extremely grateful for my mom for being so dependable and for always keeping me sane. She takes all of my frustrating situations and turns them into tiny obstacles. My mom can do anything, and I'm so thankful for everything she does for me.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
