11 Things I Ask My Mom For While I'm Home
Us Seek

It's finally that time again when we begin to realize all the small, but important things our families do for us that we miss so dearly. So instead of traveling far and wide for Spring Break, we return to our loving homes to see the brightest of smiles. Here is a list I've compiled of some of the small, but SUPER SUPER important things we ask our moms to do that we couldn't possibly do ourselves, right?

1. "Can you get me a glass of water?"

There's no possible way you could walk 10 feet into the kitchen to get your own glass of water, so here Mom comes to the rescue.

2. "Mom, can you PLEASE call the dentist and make my appointment for me?"

She's been doing such a good job telling them what's wrong already, how could we possibly do it on our own now?

3. "What is my social security number?"

OK, no one ever told me we would have to memorize this ourselves.

4. "Do you have credit? Do I have credit? Can I just use some of your credit? I just need to buy something."

What even is credit and how does it work?

5. "Can you come tuck me into bed, please?"

Let's face it, anything that doesn't come from the microwave is so much closer to a five-star meal than what we've been eating.

7. "Is $4.99 too much to spend on strawberries?"

And if Mom is buying, can we buy them anyways? Or, does meal plan reach back home?

8. "Which medicine should I be taking? Can you get it for me?"

Moms always have the right medicine.

9. "What's for dinner?"

If there is any leftovers, can I take them back with me?

10. "Can you call this prescription in for me?"

They intimidate me, Mom.

11. "Can I stop adulting now?"

I'm too young to do this whole adult thing.

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
