Moms: the only reason voicemail still exists.

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.


1. Leaves you voice mails.

mom voicemail

Then they will text you to tell you they left you a voicemail.

2. When you answer, the phone says, "Hey it's Mom!", even though you have caller ID.

3. Tells you things about your friends she found out on Facebook.

"Did you know Gretta is engaged!?"

4. Fast-forwards through sex scenes.

This is the most awkward thing any human will have to experience.

5. Asks you what really provocative song lyrics mean.

"What does she mean, she loves herself?" "I don't know mom!"

6. Comments on everything you post online.

Do you just snoop on my profile all day?

7. Asks you if you are seeing anyone.

Nothing will make you feel more single then having to tell your mother you're single.

8. Tells you what she had for dinner when you aren't home.

9. Asks you the same question over and over.

That I've answered a thousand times already.

10. Tells you you need a haircut.

My hair is fine!

11. Tells you you need to start eating more.

"You look so skinny! Have you been eating?"

12. Snoops on your life.

13. Wakes you up in the morning in that annoying calm voice.

A million times.

14. Tells you she's proud of you about everything.

"You are so talented."

15. Uses lingo in the dorkiest way.

That's on fleek!

16. Asks you to vote for her favorite contestants on 'American Idol,' 'Dancing with the Stars,' or 'The Voice.'

My mom likes Kat on The Voice more than me.

17. Makes a ridiculous amount of snacks when your friends come over.

Moms make the greatest hostesses.

18. Loves you unconditionally.

No matter what, your mom is always there for you. She's your shoulder to cry on and the only person you want to talk to when you need to calm down.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
