10 Times You Still Need Your Mom As A College Student
Tessa Boucher

Most people are afraid to admit that past the age of 18, you definitely still need your mom. As I enter my fourth year of college, I know that I couldn't survive without talking to her at least 20 times a day.

Come to think of it, there was never a point in time where I thought I didn't need my mom. But now that I'm in college and adult life is hitting harder and harder, here are some moments where I know we all needed our moms in college:

1. When you get sick and need to go to the doctor

She will also make you copious amounts of chicken soup and take the day out of work to make sure you're fever goes down.

2. When a professor is giving you a hard time

"Mom, can you triple check this email for grammatical errors and maybe write me a note so I can be excused for the rest of my life?"

3. When you're having BFF troubles

She'll be the first one to vouch for your friendship and get you both to screw your heads on straight.

4. When you're having guy troubles

She doesn't care that you're four hours away, if Chad from Sigma Delta Kappa Donut is giving you heartache, she'll be there in a wink to knock some sense into him.

5. When you don't understand the materials for your chem class

She may not be a rocket scientist, but she's got mom logic and she's the best at explaining literally everything.

6. When you need help cooking

Family recipes are her favorite thing to pass down, so you know you'll always have an expert chef to call on when you don't know if the chicken is ready or not.

7. When you miscalculated your finances and now you can't afford to drink water

Moms never let their kids go hungry, however a long talk about finances and saving money will follow that homemade chicken parm.

8. When you don't know what the heck a cover letter is

9. ....Or a resume for that matter

10. When you get into any type of sticky situation

Whether your car broke down and you can't afford a new one, you need advice on which job to apply to or if your resume looks good, Mom will always be there. Don't forget to hug your mom extra tight and thank her for these 10 things she does without hesitation.

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.

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.
