21 Reasons To Thank Your Mom
Courtney Loney

Mother's Day is right around the corner and it's all about moms. All kinds of moms. Moms who gave birth to you. Mom's who raised you. Dad's who play the role of mom. Really anyone who is like a mother to you. These things apply to all those people. It doesn't have to be a holiday for me to thank my mom but here are a few things I want her to know I'm thankful for this Mother's Day.

1. Thank you for carrying me around for 9 months.

Without you I wouldn't even be here.

2. Thank you for dressing me in (mostly) adorable outfits.

I love looking at adorable baby pictures and seeing my mostly cute (some not so cute) outfits.

3. Thank you for tucking me in every night.

I always have great memories filled with bedtime stories and cuddles.

4. Thank you for always having my back.

I know you always have my back no matter what. You're honestly one of my best friends.

5. Thank you for raising me right.

You've been a great role model and have always taught me right from wrong.

6. Thank you for always treating my friends like your second children.

You're the coolest mom and everyone thinks so. Thanks for always planning fun things for us and letting us hang at your house.

7. Thank you for being there at every school event.

Volunteering in the classroom. Coming to every school play. Awards ceremonies. I'm lucky to have you there every step of the way.

8. Thank you for being my biggest supporter.

I know you're always there for me every step of the way and cheering me on to conquer every obstacle and accomplish every dream.

9. Thank you for always being there for constant advice.

You always just know the right things to say.

10. And of course for listening to me rant and vent.

You're a great listener and I can always go to you with all of my problems.

11. Thank you for dealing with my tantrums.

I know I was the kid who threw lots tantrums in public and for that I am very sorry.

12. And my moodiness too.

I may have been a tough kid but I know I can be a tough adult too.

13. Thank you for always being right even though sometimes it's hard to admit.

Thank you for having such great judgement and usually being right. It also helps that you never say I told you so.

14. Thank you for always making me feel special.

You always make me feel beautiful and amazing every single day.

15. And always encouraging me every step of the way.

You're my biggest fan and my greatest supporter.

16. Thank you for teaching me to be polite.

Because of you I always say please and thank you and I am as polite as possible. I was raised right.

17. And forgiving too.

I know sometimes things can be tough but your ability to forgive always makes things easier.

18. Thank you for cooking dinner every single night.

I know sometimes it keep seem like it's expected but you always make sure we're fed even now in adulthood and I am very grateful for that.

19. Thank you for loving me more than you love yourself.

Your love for your children is obvious and we're so beyond lucky to have a mother like you.

20. And teaching me to always be humble and kind.

You're the sweetest person ever and I strive to be that way too.

21. Thank you for being the kind of mom I strive to be one day.

I am forever thankful for you. Thank you for being you.

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.
