How TV Moms Are Actually Just Like Us

Relatable TV moms.

19

There are so many TV moms that we can relate to. Some moms more than others. When we are watching a sitcom or television series and see them do or say something we can relate to, it feels great. We realize we are not the only crazy mom with crazy kids. It gives us a feeling of normalcy... for the moment anyway.

For the video, I chose 10 current TV moms that I thought I have something in common with or could at least relate in some way. They just seem to get it!

1. Frankie Heck, The Middle- I love this mom! The clip shows how tough it is getting kids up in the morning.

2. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy- We all know it takes a community to raise a child. I take the help when I can get it.

3. Katie Otto, American Housewife- I can relate to this mom in several ways. She is constantly running around for her kids. She is often overwhelmed, but loves her kids enough to keep doing it.

4. Cookie, Empire- Now this is a mom in charge. She is not afraid to tell it like it is and do things her way.

5. Beverly Goldberg, Goldberg's- Beverly is the ultimate smother! She loves her kids and wants to be as involved as possible...maybe too much.

6. Cersei Lannister, Game of Thrones- Although Cersei is pretty extreme, I can relate to how she wants the world (or Throne in her case) for her children.

7. Christy, Mom- This is a mom that tries to be more understanding, but is realistic. She wants to believe her daughter, but needs some reason to.

8. Jessica Huang, Fresh Off the Boat- Her kid want to fit in so desperately that he actually lies to his parents. She is good at tricking him, ultimately catching him in the lie. What mom hasn't had that happen? Kids forget how clever parents can be!

9. Rainbow, Blackish- This mom ends up doing things for her kids in order to "help" or "show them how" to do it. Then, is fed up! Been there, done that.

10. Claire, Modern Family- Claire wants to do it all and still be the kids' favorite. Too bad it is dad that is the "cool" parent. I can ABSOLUTELY relate, ugh.

They totally get us, don't they?!

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
