Yes, My Mom Is My Best Friend

Many people criticize those who have parents as best friends but sometimes that is okay. Parents can be your best friend and perform their duties as a parents. Fortunately for me, I have a mom as my best friend, and that is okay!

When I first left for college, I thought it would be the best four years of my life. I am currently a sophomore soon to be junior. It has been difficult for me to hold friends close to me without pushing them away due to my have trust issues. Although, I still have a few good friends here at college that I hangout with on occasion, I do not have one person that I do everything with. I do have close friends but they all go to different colleges so unfortunate we can only hangout when I am home. So my mom became my best friend.



I think everyone thinks their parents are a pain and get annoyed when their parents constantly want to talk to them and have them a question and worry about you. Although sometimes, my mother gets on my nerves, especially when it comes to being an adult, I tell my mom everything.

She is someone that I can talk to about anything whether it be about what I am eating, the new celebrity couples, or even how horrible my day went. She is the person I go to when I have questions on whether I can put my sweater in the dryer or when I need advice on a makeup look that I want to try. I am always sending her videos, TikToks and memes of animals, makeup or things that we would consider an inside joke.

Someone may think it is weird how close my mom and I are but I wouldn't want it anyway. If I am not by her side, it is probably because I am with my dogs, at school or I am at work.

She has become my best friend and I trust my mom with my entire heart and as I get older, the harder and harder I find it to leave my home to go on trips or school. Whenever I do not get a good morning/ good night text from my mom, I find myself texting or calling her just to make sure she is okay.

My mom is my number one supporter who has been there for me through everything. She was there for me as I got ready for my first date, my first prom, graduations and some of the most traumatic times of my life. She has seen me at my lowest, my highest and during the times that she probably questioned me. My love and appreciation for my mom are endless and I am grateful for her.

If you are reading this mom, know that I love you so much and I am proud to have you as my mother.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
