There is always a time in the semester when you have about three papers, four tests, five assignments and two projects due within the same time period. Isn't that just the best?

It's almost as if the professors all plot against you just to make college even more stressful than it already is. No matter how many people try to make you feel better, no one ever compares to your mom. Moms always know exactly what to say.

1. “Good luck today! I believe in you and always will.”

Anyone can believe in you, but it doesn't mean anything until you hear it from your mom. She's the real MVP.

2. “Everything will be OK.”

Everything is only OK when my mom tells me it's OK. Trust no one except for the OG.

3. “Do you want to come home for the weekend?”

All I need is a hug from Momma Bear, and all of my problems will mysteriously vanish...or at least that's what I hope will happen.

4. “Don’t stress! Stress causes pimples and we don’t want that!”

The only thing more stressful than school work, are blemishes. One single red spot ruins the entire month. Thank you, skin, for hating me.

5. “Look out for a care package coming in the mail.”

OK, not quite, but a girl can dream, can't she? Homemade treats and an inspirational note will suffice.

6. “You are so bright; I know you can get through this."

I wish I had as much confidence in myself as my mom has in me. Life would be a breeze.

7. “Take a break and relax for a little, you’ve been working so hard.”

I secretly just need my mom to tell me that I can take a break so I don't feel guilty for procrastinating. Yes, mom, I do need a break after staring at my computer screen for 30 minutes and crying for the last 15 minutes before I called you.

8. “Go out with your friends, have some fun. Use your card, I will refill it.”

Sometimes you just need to take a step back from everything and let loose. It's especially easy when you don't have to worry about spending too much money. Thanks, mom!

9. “Take a deep breath.”

Just close your eyes, and breathe in. No, your mom won't be there when you open your eyes, but we can only hope.

10. “Everything will work out the way it's supposed to.”

Even though she says it, you don't believe it. The stress continues to build, but, in the end, it was just a silly test that you will forget about in a few years. When will I learn that she is always right?

11. "I love you."
