19 Things To Thank Your Mom For
Elinor Pagkalinawan

Often we can end up taking our mom's for granted and not thanking them enough for all that they actually do. In celebration of Mother's Day, here is a list of just some of the things we should be thanking our moms for more often.

1. Raising you

2. (Almost) always answering your phone calls when you can’t figure out how to adult

3. Trying to teach you how to be a functioning adult regardless of how clueless you are

4. Always being there for you

5. Being your number one supporter

6. ...especially when you had questionable ideas

7. Putting up with you through the angsty teenager stage

8. Always saying I love you, even if you forget to say it back

9. Cooking you meals all those years

10. Also doing your laundry all those years

11. Actually having really good advice

12. And not being mad when you ultimately didn't take the advice and she ended up being right

13. Teaching you how to do basically everything from walking to applying for colleges

14. Sticking with you through the questionable fashion phases (we all know I mean middle school... yikes.)

15. Driving you everywhere for like 17 years

16. Doing Mother of the Year worthy things (you know which ones, mom.)

17. Always making every birthday and holiday special

18. All the cool vacations

19. Always going the extra mile when it came to parenting

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
