11 Struggles Of Having A Mother Cooler Than You

11 Struggles Of Having A Mother Cooler Than You
Kelsey Cantwell

I'm one of those lucky "Teacher's Kids" that actually had a mother who was a teacher that students looked up to. Everyone loves her. She's strong, independent, and she's the hardest worker I know. In fact, she's been teaching high school and adjunct college classes for about forty years. My senior year of high school, she was voted "Funniest Teacher" and "Favorite Teacher". One of her former students even filmed her during one of her sermons--I mean, lessons... It has over 1,000 views.


Here are some of the struggles I'm sure many of you with cool mothers face daily.

1. The only reason friends hang out with you is because she makes them laugh.

2. She steals your jokes but delivers them with more pizzazz than you ever could.

3. Old friends always ask how she's doing before they ask how you're doing.

4. She has more Facebook friends than you.

5. More of your friends from high school follow her on Instagram than you.

6. It's cute when she uses emojis incorrectly, but when you make an accident you're shunned.

7. You can't keep up with her when she raps along to Tupac.

8. You can't leave the grocery store without five different people coming up to you to say how awesome your mom is.

9. Your mom actually copied your hair cut, but it doesn't matter. You're still just tryna be like yo' momma.

10. It's not that people don't want to listen to you, they would just rather listen to your mom.

11. No matter how weird it is to know you're becoming more like your mother everyday, you can't help but smile because there is no one else you'd rather emulate.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
