13 Signs You're Turning Into Your Mother

We may think that we’re so different from our mothers, but let’s face it… we know that we’re going to end up just like them. (And that’s definitely not a bad thing!!) Yes, your mom probably made you get awful bangs at some point, but she told you that you were beautiful through your awkward stage and she continues to show you unconditional love every single day. So in honor of Mother’s Day coming up, I decided to reflect on some things that make you think, “I’m turning into my mother”...

1. You have a new found love for HGTV.

Thanks mom for introducing me to the show Fixer Upper, now we can both obsess over Chip and Joanna together. #shiplapforeve r

2. You say "text me when you're home" to your friends.

This may be something very mom-like to say, but hey better safe than sorry!

3. You bring a jacket with you everywhere.

You’re the friend that will always bring a jacket to an event due to the chance that it could get chilly. Or even better, you’ve been the one to remind others to bring their jackets too.

4. You aren't as up to date with pop culture.

Who sings this song again?? Wait, they broke up??

5. You feel a deep obligation to clean before guests come over.

If you’ve recently felt stressed or panicked because your place is a mess and you have company coming over, you may be experiencing the universal “crazy mom cleaning mode.”

6. You always have tissues.

Because you never know when someone’s going to spill or sneeze, and you might as well be prepared amiright?

7. You enjoy giving gifts.

The older you get, the more joy you find in making others happy with finding that perfect gift.

8. You use your email frequently.

Suddenly you actually use and check your email multiple times each day like a functioning adult. Why can’t we go back to the times when you only needed your email to make a club penguin account??

9. You get excited about sales, deals, and coupons.

Admit it, the occasional coupon here and there is thrilling.

10. You cook her recipes.

But let’s be real, you usually have to call your mom at least 5 times because you have questions about how to successfully cook something without burning it.

11. You use a planner to organize your life.

How else are you going to keep track of all of your assignments, appointments, and social events??

12. You have an obscene amount of Tupperware.

Bonus points if you use old containers from other foods as your “Tupperware."

13. You appreciate your mom for everything she does.

The older you get, the more you wonder how she can possibly do it all. You’re forever thankful to have such a strong and fabulous woman to look up to in your life!

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
