Mother Knows Best

Gosh, is this woman ever wrong?

Mother Knows Best

When you were younger you always got annoyed with your mom because she was always on your a** about every little thing you did. She made sure that you were prepared for every place you went and reminded you everyday about something that was happening in a week. Yes, it was repetitive, but in the end she was always right. Here is a list of things that mom was and still is always right about.

1. Bring a sweater everywhere you go

It's 100 degrees outside and every place we went my mom would make me take a sweater. She would say, it's always air conditioned in the restaurant, movie theater, etc. It seemed she was always right. Whenever I didn't listen, I would end up freezing my butt off the entire time.

2. Eat a good breakfast

Eating a good breakfast makes you energized and ready for the day. This is true because every time I was in a rush and didn't eat that morning my day was just dull. I would come home exhausted and my mom would tell me it's because I didn't have a healthy breakfast.

3. Ignore the rude girls

My mom always said ,"The rude girls are snotty because they are just jealous of what you have going for you". I never truly believed this one until I started high school. It is completely true and you cannot let people like this ruin your happiness. Just keep 'blockin' out the haters'.

4. Kill them with kindness

Killing people with kindness is the best medicine. They can't continue to hate someone that is just so kind to everyone. It gets under their skin and you're just happily smiling at them and there isn't anything they can do about it. They realize that being rude isn't going to affect you.

5. Take your vitamins daily

Each day my mom would make me take my vitamins because according to her it'll prevent you from getting sick. I can't really prove this one yet, but since she was right about everything else, I am almost positive she is right about this one as well.

6. Don't grow up too fast

When in high school all you can think about is being in college. Then college came and now you begin to worry about the real world. My mother always told me to enjoy life and don't rush into becoming an adult. Now, I am a junior and I wish I was a freshman all over again. She's right...what's new?

7. When you loan your clothes out, make sure to get them back ASAP

She always said to make a list of what friend has borrowed what. I never did and I would never get any clothes back. Still to this day, I lose clothing items. I definitely need to work on this one.

8. The bad boys will always be bad

You can't change a boy. If they are bad news stay away because you'll only get a broken heart in the end. My mom always said nice guys shouldn't finish last.

This list is only a couple of the things that moms are always right about. I learned that listening to your mother will take you furthest in life. This is because she went through the same struggles you are going through. She has experienced everything we have; therefore we need to appreciate the things she does for us and remember that mothers do know best.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
