Anyone who knows me knows that I ADORE Lilly Singh aka IIsuperwomanII aka Queen of the internet. For those of you who don't know who she is, (have you been living under a rock??) she makes hilarious YouTube videos every week (every Monday and Thursday to be exact, thank you very much). And I started watching her videos when she just had a measly one million subscribers, she's at 10 million now y'all! Why is she so relevant you ask? Well, aside from the fact that she is super humble and her eyeliner is always on point, she is an Indian-Canadian FEMALE creating an empire of her own! Also, she gets major brownie points for being a caring and giving individual.

Growing up as an Indian is no easy feat, growing up as an Indian in the Western part of the world is confusing as hell! You've got that Western culture that reminds you that you're a bit too Indian, you've got your Indian parents (and aunties and uncles) telling you that you are too Western. It's difficult finding an equilibrium. But, it's worse when you strive to be something different than the stereotypical Indian doctor, or pharmacist, or engineer (don't even get me started on what my family had to say about my majoring in Psychology); Lilly continues to break stereotypes that have been stacked up against females, and more importantly, Indian females, all while staying classy and being a positive unicorn at the end of a colorful rainbow (you won't get it if you don't watch her videos). So, now that that ridiculously long intro is over, here are some reasons why Lilly Singh is the literal QUEEN.

1. She doesn't want to be a stereotypical shy desi girl who agrees with everything.


2.Seriously, she isn't afraid to knock some sense into you.


3. She reminds you that you are a capable person (unlike your desi parents who think even the way you breathe is wrong).


4. She perfectly captures your desi mom's not so subtle hints that you're marriage material now.


5. ....I mean REALLY not so subtle hints.


6. When she perfectly imitated your mom yelling at you...again, but you were just trying to help.


7. When she perfectly summed up your desi parents trying to text, or do anything with technology really. LLLOOOLLL!

8. When she wrote a book about her amazing career that she worked hard to create all while shattering stereotypes and glass ceilings and such.


9. When this beautiful, kind, positive Indian graced talk shows with her presence. Paving the path for Brown people in a White industry. You're so lucky Jimmy Fallon! (OK I'm the lucky one to see two of my favorites together, but you get the idea)


10. And this. THIS! Have you heard of her new campaign "Girl Love"? it gives me life!


So there you have it. All jokes aside, I've really looked up to Lilly Singh throughout the years. I'll catch myself at a crossroads wondering if I should give up on something because it will be harder for an Indian female to do it, and every time I think "but I already know of an Indian female whose living a life that so many said was not possible. Keep on slaying Lilly!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
