Because when you have a mother like mine, you can't help yourself.

Texts From My Mom
Olivia Crawford

This is my mother, Judith ("Judy").

I am her youngest child and only daughter. As you can see, I take our relationship very seriously. Often times we face difficulties in miscommunication. Especially over text messages. Sometimes were just plain silly and full of tomfoolery. There are many examples of these occurrences happening. Take a look at a couple of real life texts between my mother and I.

Our trusting relationship. She always believes that I'll choose the responsible thing to do. And I would never do anything to jeopardize her trust. Especially when it comes to my work ethic. She's always believed in dedication. Her trust is so important in our relationship.

Her love for animals is beyond belief. We have a small, adorable dog named Charlie, but I thought he could use a friend. She is so open to ideas, especially about giving animals a loving home. I believed that by giving her a small push, she'd happily comply to getting another friend for our buddy Charlie. Especially pugs. She loves pugs.

Her response to these was the very loving phrase: "Stop sending me those pictures. We're not getting another dog. Pugs are hideous." Such a warm woman.

Speaking of dogs, I'd like to bring up her love of our own dog, Charlie. She showers him with love and adoration. She would never do anything to make his little self upset. He's so tiny; he can get into any space, but us owners keep a close eye on him. He also loves to follow us around the house everywhere. He's always by our side. Always.

As I've gotten older, she has seen me grown into a beautiful, responsible woman. She has no doubt that, when I leave the nest, I'll be a fully able adult. All the cooking and cleaning I do around the house -- she thinks I'm going to be one great Stepford wife. Also my cooking skills are the bees knees -- boy don't I know how to use an oven!

As a single mother, she has done a wonderful job taking care of her two children. She always knows how they're feeling or what they need. Especially their whereabouts. She keeps a close eye on us and all our activities. We're practically never out of her sight!

When it comes to picking up her kids, she's like a top notch soccer mom. She took me to and from school every day until I got my license. She's never forgotten me at school and made me walk 14 blocks in the rain or snow. Never. She was always on time to pick me up!

Despite her age, Judy is always up to date with the latest trends. Her texting skills are top notch. The bee's knees. The coolest in town. Watch her whip, watch her nae nae. Dab em. She'll be sending all the emojis to her friends to really add something to her messages.

Finally, sometimes as I grow old, we grow apparent. Sometimes a mother just wants to hear from her daughter. And sometimes you need to be direct when it comes to communication. I don't know how many messages like these I've received, but each time is a surprise. And that surprise sure does lead to something else.

So as you can all see, my mom and I keep our relationship close by keeping in close contact with each other. I believe this is what makes our bond so strong. Whether I'm across the state or in the other room, I can always count on my mom's texts.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
