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

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
