It takes a special woman to be called Mom. You hear the laughter, crying, and complaining, yet you love me regardless. Although I am in my 20s now, I find myself needing you more and more. I'm sure the list could go on and on, but here are just a few of the many phrases you're still hearing from me.

1. "How do I thaw this chicken?"

2. "Yes, mom. Still single."

3. "Want to go to Starbucks?"

4. "Literally the whole class failed."

5. "I'll pay you back."

6. "What's for dinner?"

7. "I need my Social Security number."

8. "Dad said no, but what do you think?"

9. "Is this see-through?"

10. "Excuse my language but ..."

11. "I'm at the grocery store. Where's the (insert item here)?"

12. "Can I borrow this?"

13. "How do I wash something that says 'dry clean only'?"

14. "Let's watch 'American Idol.'"

15. "Does it feel like I have a fever?"

16. "Are you sure you can turn right on red?"

17. "I need a haircut. Bad."

18. "What's a 401K? Do I need one?"

19. "Let's go for a walk."

20. "Does this count as presentable?"

21. "Like how did you actually give birth?"

22. "Can you please come with me to my appointment? I'm scared."

23. "Do you think he's cute? Be honest."

24. "Mom, you can't zoom in on Instagram."

25. "How many errands are we talking?"

Mom, you're a superhero. You're the superhero among superheroes. You've been there for it all: my first steps, first day of school, first heartbreak and everything in between. You cheered for me even when I was losing, then held me when I did. Out of all the phrases and sayings I have, the most important one is, "Thank you."

Thank you for all you do and all you are. I only hope that one day I can be the mom to my kids that you are to me. I wish there was another way to show you how much I appreciate all you do, but for now, I'll show you by loving you unconditionally and by reminding you that even though I'm getting older, I'm still your baby girl.

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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
