A Thank You To The One Who Doubles As My Best Friend And Mom
Georgia Kate Crawford

They say you never realize how good you have it until it's gone. And I say isn't that the truth. Moving off to college is fun and all, but nothing is harder than those nights when all you want is your Mama.

I never realized how good of a mom I have until I wasn't able to see her everyday.

Thank you mom for loving me unconditionally and never giving up on me. For literally letting me talk to you about anything and always giving me the best advice. For making the person I am today and teaching me how to be independent. Thank you for always making me laugh and being a great role model to me. For always going out of your way to what is best for us and always putting our family first.

If I can be half the person you are today, then I would be happy.

Thank you for not only being my mom, but also my best friend.

I can count on you for anything and everything. Whether it's the day of a dance and we still have to go find a dress or an hour before my soccer game and we had to go buy new cleats, you did it all.

Through the good times and the bad, you always stay so strong and inspire me to be a better person each and everyday.

I don't thank you enough for all that you do! I hope you know how much I love and appreciate you!

I love you to the moon and back, Mama!

Determining which schools are the biggest party schools is often subjective, but a some statistical factors you could use to make a judgement include (1) consumption, (2) drug usage, (3) strong greek life presence, (4) campus police records etc.

When a student at Auburn was recently asked, she explained: "These schools usually have, like, a super vibrant social scene, lots of Greek life (like my amazing sorority, duh!), and tons of exciting events happening all the time. I mean, we're talking about tailgates, themed parties, mixers with fraternities, and just, like, so much fun. But don't get me wrong, we still, like, study and go to class and all that. It's just that at a party school, the social life and having a good time are, like, major priorities for students."

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.
