Mother's Day is on Sunday. As a daughter or a son, we should show our moms how much we appreciate them. Sometimes, we do forget until the last minute to get a gift. Life gets in the way so here are some great ideas to get your mom for Mother's Day, especially if it ends up being last minute.

1. Dunkin/Starbucks Gift Card

If she never stops to get coffee in the morning or stops all the time, this saves the family some money and she gets her favorite coffee, at least for a few days.

2. Flowers

This may be a cliche gift but she will always love some flowers. It just shows her how much you appreciate her.

3. Yankee Candle

Who doesn't love candles? Make sure it is in her favorite scent though.

4. Book by favorite author

She probably does not get time to read a book so getting her one (especially close to vacation season) so she has a reason to.

5. Handmade card/gift

If moms love anything, they are things that are handmade by her favorite people on Earth that she can cherish.

6. Spa Day

For daughters, take her with you for a mani-pedi day. For a son, give her a gift certificate to a local spa or salon for her to take care of herself.

7. Jewelry

Get something nice but not super expensive. As long as it ifs from you, she will cherish it forever.

8. Movie Night

Get her a gift certificate to the movies to have her go see her favorite new movie coming out.

9. Date Night/Night Out

Every mother deserves a night with her favorite people that she never gets to spend time with. Get her a gift card to her favorite restaurant or bar and let her have a night out on you!

10. Framed Picture/Photo Shoot

Every mother loves pictures of her family and the ones she loves. Set up a photo shoot for yourself and the others in the family and get your favorite picture framed for her.

11. Store Gift Card

Maybe she has had an eye on a new outfit for work or everyday. Get her a gift card to a store she likes for her to treat herself.

12. Something she has her eyes on

Maybe last time you were at a store, she saw a new lamp for the house or something to replace what needs to be. Get it for her as a surprise!

13. Make her breakfast/lunch/dinner

I know that this is probably a cliche one that everyone does, but I can tell you she will really appreciate staying in bed and not making breakfast or not worrying about lunch or dinner.

14. Let her choose what to do

If there is something she wants to do for the day, like me and my family go to the greenhouse to get her plants, let her do it! It is her day.

15. Make the day about her!

Anything you do, make it about your mom.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

The struggles of having an RBF are all too real

1. People asking if you're mad at them.

2. Those people who hand out flyers don't always try to stop you.

3. Creepy guys telling you to smile.

4. "I thought you were a bitch when I first met you."

5. People telling you you'd be "so much prettier if you smiled."

6. Doing your makeup and looking great, which somehow intensifies the bitch face.

7. Regularly explaining "it's just my face."

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.
