No Matter My Age, I’ll Always Be Close To Mom

My very first friend was my mother.

No Matter My Age, I’ll Always Be Close To Mom

Currently, I’m 20 years old (going on 21, promise) and I call my mom at least once a day and I usually text her all day. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t look at my phone and I have a Facebook notification from her... where it’ll usually be some video of an adorable animal (because what else is social media for?) or some post that reminded her of us. Sometimes my friends think it’s weird I call my mom all the time since most of them speak to their parents very seldom. I really couldn’t do that, and it’s not because I feel like I have to talk to Mom, it’s just I really, really want to.

It’s a funny thing about mothers and fathers. Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is wonderful." -Roald Dahl

Not only is she the one person I want to tell things to when they happen, but she’s also who I turn to for daily advice. But take it from me, ladies and gentleman, for when you do not take your mother’s advice, some things go really, really south. Like using Dawn in your dishwasher (whoops).

I know a lot of girls who don’t talk to their moms every day because they think it’s a waste of time, they really have no time, or they don’t have a good relationship with their mom. Parents aren’t perfect, and neither are children, but that doesn’t mean that they do not love each other. Relationships are not easy, and I know that even though I have spats with my mom that does not mean I love her any less.

I guess I think everyone should talk to their moms like I talk to mine. I mean, my mom is cool and she always knows what is going on with me during the day. She always knows what to say when I don’t like something a person did, and she can always make me laugh when I’m having a terrible day. I think everyone should talk to their mothers every day, and if you don’t, you should. Give her a call, a text, or a quick video chat. You only get one mom, so do not take her for granted!

Dedication

Thanks mom for all the laughs, tears, joys, meals, love, and everything you sacrificed for me in your life. I’ll never be able to thank you fully, but I hope you know I appreciate you for everything you do.

Have a very Happy Birthday.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
