5 Thank Yous To The Mom Whose Love I Can Never Get Enough Of

Alyxandrea Curry's personal photo

You've loved and cared for me for almost 19 years. You've taught me everything that I know. You're a beautiful, goofy, and intelligent person who always puts your family first. You're so selfless. I am so lucky to call you my mom. Here are a few reasons that I am thankful for you:

1. Thank you for always encouraging me to pursue my dreams.

Giphy

When most people hear that their child wants to pursue their passion for music, they would laugh. They would tell their child to give up and pick another profession. You didn't. You have been encouraging me to keep going. You made sure I got into the college of my choosing and didn't pressure me to go somewhere else.

You've said to me one day, "I don't want to keep you from doing what you love. You're amazing, and I support you always. I love you!"

2. Thank you for listening to my constant drama and rants.

Giphy

You've always stood by me when I had a problem and never once did you blow me off. You stood by my side when I was bullied throughout my childhood. Not once did you think that I caused the problems. You always believed me. You listened to me when I was upset. You've listened to me when I lost a best friend. I knew that I could always come to you if I had no one else to listen to my problems.

3. Thank you for taking care of my siblings and I.

Giphy

Being a single mom is hard, but you never let it bring you down. You pushed to provide for your four children without having any help from the rest of our family. You sacrificed many things for us. You work overtime to make sure all the bills are paid. Or to make sure we have presents for our birthdays or Christmas.

4. Thank you for always cheering me on.

Giphy

Since I was one and a half years old, I've been singing. I stood in my car seat and sung along to "Fallin' by Alicia Keys." You stopped the car and turned to listen to me sing my heart out. Every time I had a performance, you cheered me on even when you couldn't be there. Every show choir competition. Every talent show. Every concert. I had your love and support with me.

"OMG, you did awesome. You made me smile and cry! I'm so proud of you!"

5. Thank you for being my best friend.

Giphy

I always knew that whenever I had a problem, I could come to you. I could gossip about many things that I experienced. We both had each other to lean on whenever we needed. Through breakups and loss of friends, I always had you by my side. We can joke about almost anything. Even things we shouldn't joke about. You were always there I appreciate it.

Thank you mom. You're everything to me. I love you!

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
