Oh college. The place where you're supposed to learn how to take care of yourself and where you *attempt* to become an adult. It's a wonderful place full of trials and errors and lots and lots of fun nights. But, as much as you want to think that you know how to do everything, there's always going to be something you're still unsure about. But its okay! Because mom is just a phone call away. And chances are, there will be many things you need help with from mom. Here are a few of the questions you might find yourself picking up the phone for:

1. How do I use the washing and drying machine?

There'll all different and they may be very simple, but they definitely will be different from the ones at home and sometimes you just aren't sure. You could even be super lucky and not had to do laundry all through high school, but now your'e on your own. Call mom. Mom will always know.

2. How do I use an iron?

This may be irrelevant to you because you don't iron your clothing, but there will most likely some type semi-formal/formal you've been asked to and trust me, you're going to want to know how to use an iron.

3. What's the best wine I can get for the least amount of money?

This one may only be for the girls, but it's necessary. And you may not even like wine. But for the girls who like to have a girls night every once in a while and gossip, then this is necessary information. Call mom for this advice.

Okay, now mom is good for this question because sometimes you just aren't sure if it's a cold or something more and she is always a good judge of that. She always wants you to be healthy, but there's just some things not worth going there for.

5. How much are my loans?

You could know this going into freshman year, or you could be just learning about it your senior year. Either way, it's stressful to worry about and mom will usually be on top it. She wants you to be educated about it, and who better to help you than your mom.

6. What time is Scandal on?

She. Will. Know.

Whether it's a silly question about a television show or a serious question about your finances, you know you can always count on your one and only mom to help you answer them. It's important to reach out to her and she will appreciate being asked, even if she chides you for it being an obvious question.

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.
