We all have a college mom. If you don't, it's probably you. Whether you actually find yourself yelling at them "MOM I NEED HELP" or not, there is always that one person who you find yourself going to with your troubles, complaints, and homework struggles.
1. Thank you for listening to my complaints even when they're definitely overreactions.
We both know I'm being unreasonable, but that's okay. What matters is I say them, and you at least pretend to hear.
2. Thank you for dealing with my midnight ice cream cravings.
Easy on the hot fudge please, and yes, ice cream for dinner is perfectly acceptable.
3. Thank you for not being too annoyed when I ask the same question again about our homework.
Wait so how do I get to the reading? And how do I turn the assignment in?
4. Thank you for making me go to the gym.
Those ellipticals would miss us. The squeaky one already does.
5. Thank you for driving me around like I'm actually your child.
Target probably sees us way too much, and we should probably become members at that other place too.
6. Thank you for picking me up from the airport when I missed my flight...
Twenty minutes. Just twenty minutes.
7. And letting me stay at your house because the next flight wasn't until the next day
Yay for guest bedrooms (that are bigger than my normal room at home).
8. Thank you for ordering Chinese takeout with me too many nights a week.
The amount of fried rice we consume is actually concerning.
9. Thank you for having dance parties with me to Justin Bieber.
As much as we wish we could do the Sorry dance like the girls in the video, we definitely cannot.
10. Thank you for making me bring a coat when I'm not sure.
There could have been so many regrets.
11. Thank you for being you.
Thank you to my college mom for keeping me sane at least most of the time, and for telling me to write about you when I couldn't think of what to write about. You literally inspired this article in more ways than one. ILY MOM.
