Moms. A.K.A. God's gift to us on earth.
They do so much for us and unfortunately, most of the time, we don't even appreciate it before it's too late. From handing her our terribly soiled clothes to take care of to all of the home cooked meals that she sets aside special times to prepare, here are just some of the things that come with moving away from mom.
1. "I hope my clothes will be okay after I wash them all together."

I mean, as long as there's no whites in the mix, I don't really see an issue. Right?
2. "I have to have ramen for dinner, AGAIN?"

If you're not homesick already, you will be as soon as your meal card starts to run out of money.
3. "I think that's my social security number...??"

Filling out paper work alone at the doctor's office = prime adulting.
4. "I wonder if I can still eat this."
Moms just know things. Like, if it's been a week after the expiration date and being able to tell if something is good to eat. Yes, I could just open it. But do I want to? NO.
5. "I don't think I've ever had chicken pox...?"

Again, doctor's office. A terrifying place without my mom. And all those forms to sign! How am I even supposed to know all of this??
6. "Well, I hope I remember everything I am supposed to do this weekend."

It's a very weird transition going from high school where your mom literally knows your entire life and schedule to moving to another state where she isn't there everyday. Like, who is going to wake me up for school and remind me to do my homework?
7. "Okay, if she calls me today I am not going to tell her about my two servings of ramen I had for lunch and dinner."

Gee, sorry, mom. I am so sorry that I don't have the time or the motivation to get up and make myself a decent meal, because I am neck deep in homework!!!
8. "How am I supposed to know if this dress looks good on me?"

Hey, mom, thanks for answering my call. Can you please look at the picture I just sent you and can you tell me if I look hot in this dress I want to buy. Oh, and it is on sale, by the way. Don't worry, I'm the queen of budgeting.
9. "Oh, this will definitely get this stain off."

Actually, never mind, I think I just made it worse.
10. "How does she do that again?"

My brain every time. I guess there are truly some things that only a mother could know. I mean, come on, how DOES she get rice to cook that perfect??
