12 Reasons Why I Couldn't Live Without My Mom
Sierra Abbott

There is one thing in this world that I know I couldn’t survive without: my mom. She has been my go-to person since before I even came out of the womb. I honestly don’t know what I would do without her. She is the one constant in my life, and I will forever be thankful for her. I may act like I know it all, but I couldn’t do anything without my mom. I may be an “adult,” but I will never not need my mom.

1. She answers my stupid questions.

What medicine should I take? Are you sure I’m not dying? Is it okay to wash this shirt with these pants? Is this normal? No matter how strange or random the question is, she will always answer my questions.

2. She supports my dreams.

No matter how crazy or impossible my dreams are, she will always support my dreams. Nobody else in the world believes in me more than she does. As long as I have her constant support, I believe that I can achieve anything I set my mind to.

3. She gives me advice.

The time of day won't matter; If I need my mom she will be there, ready to help. She is the only one that has been there through every heartbreak and every victory and I know she will always have the perfect advice for me.

4. She is my No. 1 cheerleader.

My mom will always be my No. 1 cheerleader. She sat through every choir concert, every award ceremony, every musical and every game, cheering me on.

5. She lets me “borrow” her clothes.

I am lucky to have a mom who wears the same size as me and is super stylish. I might “borrow” clothes and forget to give them back, but she still lets me “borrow” whatever I want inside her closet even if it never returns.

6. She works hard for me.

My mom is such a hard worker. She works every day and I don’t tell her enough how much I appreciate her and all she does for me.

7. She sends me care packages.

Being away from home is extremely difficult. Luckily, my mom knows how to make me feel special even if we're two hours apart from each other. Every time I see a care package from her I smile and can feel her love.

8. She lets me call her 20 times a day.

Even though she has her own life, she answers my very frequent phone calls at any time of the day. She is always there to talk to me when I feel alone or just when I want someone to talk to.

9. She shaped me into the person I am today.

I wouldn’t be who I am today without my mom. She raised me to be a woman of character and I am so thankful that she instilled important values in me from a young age.

10. She spoils me.

I am definitely spoiled by my mom. I don’t deserve it, but she always does anyway.

11. She is my role model.

My mom is someone that I look up to. She is an amazing woman, and I am so lucky to have a great role model like her.

12. She loves me unconditionally

My mom loves me when I succeed, fail, mess up, win, lose and everything in between. There is nothing I could do that would make her love me less. I am so thankful for her constant love and support. I would be lost without her.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
