The Stages Of Your Mom Not Answering Or Returning Your Calls As Told By Simon Cowell
Science All

You know the drill. You miss a call from your mother and you wonder what it might be about. Is everyone okay? Is there a funny story from home? You swipe and unlock your trusty iPhone and call her back. Lo-and-behold you reach 30 seconds of ringing and are directed to her voicemail. Not once, not twice, not three times, but four, maybe even five. You see the count next to her contact continue to go up and still no answer or return phone call. Was she kidnapped? Is she okay? The world will never know.

For everyone who has experienced this frustration, here are the stages of your mom not answering or returning your call as told by Simon Cowell.

Vexed

Okay, maybe she put her phone down at her desk or she dropped it in the floorboard of her car. Hopefully everything is okay, but please answer.

Annoyed

It's been 8 minutes, mom. I've called three times and you haven't answered. I'm getting a little irritated. A fourth time? Alrighty.

Frustrated

Mom, you called me, it's time for you to pick up your phone. I am your child, your main responsibility. You needed to talk to me, and now I can't get in touch with you.

Angered

AYE, YO MA! PLEASE ANSWER THE PHONE. I HAVE CALLED 10 TIMES. I'm not even letting it send me to voicemail. I'm hanging up and calling again. And again. And again. And again.

Enraged

Alright, I'm going to call until you answer, no matter what. I'm going to blow up your phone. This is getting a little out of hand. You called me, and now I can't get a hold of you. Where did you go? Did you run away? Did you die? Did you forget I exist?

And as an added bonus...

When she does call back...

You mean all you needed was to tell me that the dog went swimming today?

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.

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.
