Moms. Our moms are our truest friend, safest confidant, and most loyal companions (at least they should be).

We grow up wishing we could be just like them and we get our wish because no matter what we do or how different we think we are from our moms, we're just like them. While it can be horrifying, it's also endearing. Not matter what we do, we will find ourselves laughing, talking, arguing, shopping, cooking, cleaning and dressing just like our moms.

Here are some signs you really are your mother's daughter.

1. You look the same

You're basically twins and you're not sure if you're annoyed or flattered when everyone says, "You look so much like your mom!"

2. You sound the same

Everyone confuses you two on the phone, which can be fun, if you're trying to trick your little brother. It only becomes awkward when her husband or boyfriend calls.

3. Same routine

You've basically watched her get ready in the morning your whole life and now you find yourself repeating her same morning routine.

4. Same body gestures and facial expression

Not only do you look like her physically, but you realize you've started talking with your hands wildly the same way she does. And you realize you start pulling the same facial expressions and have started mastering "the look" she so often gave you.

5. Same word phrases

You've also started using the same words and phrases she used while you were growing up. Words like "hangry" has a whole new meaning now that you're older.

6. Keep the same traditions

Maybe when you were younger, unwrapping one present at a time Christmas morning was torture, but now you've started yelling at everyone saying, "One at a time! I want to see all of you open them!"...Even though you're the one who wrapped them.

7. Learned to cook...or the lack of cooking

You've started the same grocery list and start bossing everyone around in your kitchen telling them exactly what they need to do. Or if you're mother didn't cook, well, who wants pizza?

8. Fight the same

She might have passed down her peace loving skills...or more likely her arsenal of weapons.

9. You love the same

You see the bad and the good and realize you've also gained her special way of loving other people.

10. Same interests

Hobbies, favorite stores, favorite restaurants, favorite way to relax, movies, books...all from your mom.

11. Same TV shows

HGTV? Allllllll day. Everyday. Don't forget American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, Bachelor and Bachelorette, Cooking Channel and QVC.

12. Same parenting style

Whether you're bossing around your siblings, babysitting, have children of your own, or perhaps just mother your roommates, you've realized all those parenting styles your mom did and hated while growing up, you now do them too.

13. Best secret keeper

Moms always the best listener, and just like her, you've become the best secret keeper to all your friends and family.


Sometimes being compared to your mom can get annoying, but she made you didn't she? And who else would you rather be like than your mom?

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
