9 Signs Your Mom Went to Villanova
Julia Hart

In This Article:

I am sitting on the couch with my mom. It's 6:59PM and the Villanova vs St. John's game will be on in a minute. She runs straight to her room yelling "PAUSE IT! PLEASE!" and I know that she has forgotten to wear an article of Villanova clothing. It's a habit from her time in college that she just can't seem to shake away. If your parent went to Villanova, I can guarantee you can relate to some of the following.

1. She "tried not to pressure you" when you applied for college.

But it was clear there was only one place she'd feel completely good about sending you off to.

2. At least a section of her closet resembles the Bookstore.

Villanova hat, sweatshirt, T-shirts, gloves, leggings. Got em!

3. She calls out "Boooooooth" whenever Phil Booth gets points.

Or pretty much whenever he's on the screen. It's just a fun sound to make at this point.

4. She says "I wonder what *inset basketball player's name* is like in person.

And expects me to have a story about each and every one of them.

5. She looks for any excuse to come to campus.

Truthfully, I could easily drive myself the 2 hours to school. But Mom wants to see the "newest renovations" and of course it's nice to have some company.

6. She gets you Villanova swag for all holidays.

"I just picked up these cute V stickers I found at the store!"

7. She always uses the phrase "well back in my time..."

And you have to listen to her compare your time to hers.

8. Your whole family rolls their eyes at all the Nova talk.

You wouldn't get it, okay?

9. She shares a special bond with you no one else can fully understand.

Sorry, siblings!!

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.

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.
