World's Greatest Mom

To my Mom on Mother's Day

World's Greatest Mom
Sarah Lynch

Well, here comes another Mother's Day where I feel as if there is no gift in the world that would even come close to the copious amounts of things my Mom has done for me in the past year or past twenty-two years for that matter. Seriously, how could I give her a card and flowers and expect that to suffice for the endless fashion advice, dinners, and shopping sprees she has given me throughout my life. A mug that says "World's Best Mom" will simply not cut it.

I know everyone thinks that they have the best mom in the world, and to each their own, but really my Mom is the greatest. She is probably the coolest and not to mention she dresses way better than I ever could.

She has always given me the best advice. The best piece of advice she has ever given me was during a bad day when I was much younger. I had probably dropped my ice cream cone on the ground or missed the new episode of Arthur, but that is beside the point. While I am sure I was throwing a complete meltdown about this, she said, "if that is the worst thing that happened today, you're doing pretty good."

This piece of advice has stuck with me, through everything and I am so grateful for that because how great is that saying. GREAT. I know. Go, Mom.

You know what, moms are always right. They, low key, know everything. And if you don't believe this yet, trust me, one day you will. She always knew that middle school friendship was going to end badly, but she didn't gloat when it did and it turned out, she was right. As always.

My Mom is the most fashionable mom, maybe ever, not to be biased or anything. I am at the point in my life where I trust her to pick out my clothes more than I trust myself. She just knows what is in style. She cuffs her jeans, wears stylish booties, and rocks platform sandals. And, she is way more photogenic than me.

All of these things make my Mom the cliche mug saying, "World's Greatest Mom."

As Mother's Day quickly approaches, I am positive my Mom will be spending her time doing something selfless instead of basking in the fact that she is loved and is indeed the "World's Greatest Mom."

Regardless of any gift that I get her, my goal this Mother's Day is to make it known that I am so grateful for the things my Mom has done for me. She deserves to feel special for way more than one day because she has made me feel special for twenty-two years. My Mom has been my rock.

And to quote Justin Bieber, in his extremely underrated song, Turn To You (Mother's Day Dedication), "I still turn to you."

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
