College is fun, but at times it can be difficult. Suddenly you're living on your own and you have to learn how to do things without your mom's help. Well, I shouldn't say completely on your own, because there are those times when you have to call your mom and ask her how to do normal everyday things. Here are 10 times you have probably called your mom while in college.

1. "Do I wash my darks in cold or warm water?"

Chances are you haven't mastered the art of laundry yet.

2. "Can I put this in a microwave?"

Does anyone honestly know what they can/ cannot put in a microwave?

3. "Can you transfer money into my account?"

Because in college, online shopping and Uber Eats is very important (and expensive).

4. "What's the Netflix password again?"

In those rare cases that you get locked out of your Netflix account.

5. "Should I go to the doctor?"

When you're coughing and sneezing, you need professional advice from your mom whether or not you should take a trip to the health center.

6. "How do I remove the stain from my shirt?"

If you just happen to get jungle juice on your favorite white shirt, you're going to need help from mom.

7. "What's my social security number"

You will surprisingly need this number for a lot of things. But honestly, does anyone have their social security number memorized?

8. "Just wanted to say hi!'

Being away from your mom can be hard. For all those times that we don't know how to live on our own, moms are always there to tell us what to do.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
