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."

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.
