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.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.
