12 Things I Will Never Stop Asking My Mom

Courtney Knudsen

Growing up, I was constantly arguing with my mom. In the younger years, it was mostly about her making me brush my teeth. Then as I got older it was cellphone usage, going to school and coming home late. As I got into my 20's, I realized that I am definitely not as grown up as I though I was going to be back then, and instead of her calling me to check up on me, I'm the one calling her, usually with plenty of questions in my arsenal. Here are a few things I will never stop asking my mom:

1. How long after expiration can I eat _____?

We all know food doesn't really expire on the expiration date. I need to know how long I can hang on to my milk before I will actually die from consuming it.

2. Will you call _____ for me?

I hate making appointments. I hate canceling appointments. I need a personal secretary to do these things.

3. Who is our insurance company?

And where's the card? Which number is the policy number?

4. How long will my car last before I have to get the oil changed?

Every 3,000 miles is just a suggestion...right?

5. What should I eat for dinner?

I have rice, half a tomato and some yogurt. What can I make?

6. What's my blood type?

I know I have asked this at least 10 times and I still don't know what it is.

7. Can you help me pay for _____ ?

New running shoes? Parts for my car? Groceries?

8. Is it normal if _____ ?

Followed by a gory description of something gross my body is doing.

9. What's the Netflix password?

Why can't I remember it?!

10. What's your billing zip code?

No reason...just taking a survey.

11. How often do I need shots?

Because according to WebMD I think I have polio.

12. When are you coming to visit me?

Because I miss you. Like, all the time.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
