15 Things I'd Rather Be Called Than "Pretty"

There are so many compliments that are better than ones that focus on a person's appearance.

15 Things I'd Rather Be Called Than "Pretty"
More Than Pretty

When people want to say something nice about someone else, I've noticed that one of the most used compliments is "pretty." Pretty definitely isn't a bad thing to be called, but in a world where Hillary Clinton is running for president and Kim K has her own business empire, I don't think people should just be known as "pretty." This is a list of non-appearance-realted compliments I wouldn't mind getting:

1. Fun to be around

Being fun will never go away, and neither will the memories made from it.

2. Intelligent

Tell me my brain is beautiful and I'll love you forever.

3. Down to earth and easy to talk to

Because that'll keep friends around.

4. Kind

To animals or people, either one works.

5. Interesting

Everyone's hobbies and ideas are interesting, because they're all unique.

6. Helpful

Like this bunny.

7. Confident

Like how I imagine Taylor Swift is when she walks into a room.

8. Strong

Emotionally, mentally, physically, whatever.

9. Inspiring

Think about someone who has inspired you and how amazing they are. That would be amazing to be an inspiration to someone else.

10. Joyful

Always good vibes and sunshine.

11. Passionate

About my hobbies, people, or future career. Great compliment.

12. Caring

Who doesn't want to be called caring?

13. Bright

As in intelligent or my personality.

14. Bubbly

Like champagne.

15. Charitable

Giving to others is its own reward, but having people compliment you on it is another reward completely.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
