10 Reasons Your Mom Is Your Best Friend

Moms, aren't they just the best? I love my mom to the moon and back; and for so many reasons. Of all of the reasons she is my best friend, here are just a few.

1. She's your #1 fan.

Your accomplishments are her accomplishments, rightfully so. I mean, she did birth you.

2. She will tell you exactly like it is.

Just because she doesn't think that shirt is necessary flattering, doesn't mean she loves you any less.

3. You guys steal clothes from each other.

It happens to the best of us. But hey, it's like having two closets!

4. She's loves talking the latest gossip with you.

Despite what you may think, moms love hearing about all the drama and hot gossip that's going on.

5. She always has your back.

No matter where you are, or what kind of trouble you may be in, your mom will always be there to have your back. Its just what they do.

6. Two words: Gilmore... Girls.

It's not just a show, it's a lifestyle. Also a bonding experience.

7. She will always let you cry on her shoulder.

There will never be a time where your mom will make you cry alone. If you cry, you better believe she's crying too.

8. She already has a million silly photos saved in her phone to send you when you're feeling down.

The pug with the silly hats? Yup, you've received all of them, and you love every second of it.

9. She will recognize a fake friend WAY before you do.

If your mom has a funny feeling about a new friend/ significant other, BELIEVE HER. She will never steer you wrong and you WILL regret not listening to her.

10. She will never refuse a good hug.

Whether it's after a long day, or just a surprise hug, mom hugs are the best kind out there. There isn't a safer place then in the arms of your wonderful mother.

Thanks for being my best friend and mom all in one. I love you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
