The 18 Texts We Inevitable Send Mom While Off At College

1. "I'm so hungry I'm gonna die."

Having to walk across the street or even just right next door to get food becomes a major inconvenience during exam season. You really start craving home food.

2. "How do you make instant rice?"


It should be extremely simple but it is so easy to mess up.

3. "I think I burned my instant rice."

Remember what I said about it being easy to mess up?

4. "Can you send me a picture of my dog?"

*cries once you see it because she's the most precious creation ever."

5. "Go look at my Insta - I hugged a giraffe today."

No joke. This is a text I sent my mom two weeks ago. College is weird.

6. "Gosh - Did you know adulting is just fixing other people's mistakes?"

She did. She did know this. She's been trying to illustrate this exact concept to me for years. Sorry?

7. "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH"

8. "This dog just came on my bus and it's sitting on my foot and I'm in love."

Of course, you have to update her on the best moment of the semester.

9. "OMG I have a story to tell you CALL ME."

10. "All my friends are obsessed with you now..."

My mom is the coolest so this probably doesn't apply to everyone but it is ridiculously true in my life. Everyone loves my mom because she deserves it - she's the best. EVER.

11. *sends so many dorky pictures and gifs*

A Lot of them are from "The Goldbergs" because we freaking love Bev Goldberg.

12. "I fell out of bed last night - Oops"

Once again, 100% real text I sent her two weeks into this semester.

13. "How would I know if I have a concussion?"

This was a direct result of #12 and just so you know.....I did have a concussion. Freshman Pro-tip: If you sleep like an octopus and loft your bed, put the bed-rail on.....TRUST ME!

14. "BIG NEWS ALERT!!"

15. "Has my dog done anything funny today?"

My dog falls out of bed almost as often as I do!

16. "Have you been told how awesome you are today?"

You should have. You are incredibly awesome.

17. "I miss you so much."

18. "See you tomorrow, pretty lady! Gonna give you the biggest hug."

The only thing better than mom texts are mom hugs.

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.
