27 Things To Thank Your Mom For

Justin Bieber said it best when he sang, "My mama don't like you, and she likes everyone." Moms are a special, special thing. The only women who can exemplify love at all times, yet still be ready/willing to harm anyone who hurts you. There are a million reasons to thank your mom, but here are 27 of the very best:

1. For always dropping your textbooks off at the Post Office for you because it gives you literal anxiety.

2. For giving you complete control of the DVR when you're home because she understands that your need to keep up with the Kardashians trumps her need to watch “Fixer Uppers.”

3. For those middle school days when you would get in arguments with other girls and their mom would call your mom, and your mom would always be on your side.

4. ...Even when you were wrong.

5. For always telling you which picture you look best in for your potential Instagram posts.

6. For always replying to those 11:30 p.m., “Are you awake?” texts.

7. For disliking anyone who ever hurt your feelings.

8. ...ever.

9. For getting mad that you charged your Netflix account on her credit card, but continuing to pay for it every month.

10. For being understanding when you move home for the summer and your stuff consumes the whole house.

11. ...just kidding. Maybe not.

    12. For never friend-ing your friends on Facebook and instead waits for them to friend her (because everyone wants to be friends with her, duh!)

    13. For meeting you at KFC halfway between your hometown and college just because you miss the sound of her voice.

    14. ...and then proceeding to buy you the KFC.

    15. For not taking “Moe's Monday” as a valid excuse to overspend, but then always putting more money in your account.

    16. ...for more “Moe's Monday,” obviously!

    17. For supporting you in every single thing you do.

    18. Even the things you're not any good at (i.e. sports.)

    19. For those little gifts she brings whenever she comes to visit you at college.

    20. For paying $15 extra every month because you go over your phone data. (She does send you a strongly-worded text message about this, though...)

    21. For immediately texting you asking, “Who is that? Is he a potential?” after a boy comments or likes any of your photos.

    22. Wait, actually, why am I thankful for that?

    23. I don't even know, but I still am!

    24. For always sending you pictures of your pets when you're not at home.

    25. ...and for FaceTiming you with them.

    26. For those “Would you wear this?” texts when she's out shopping and sees something she thinks you would like.

    27. For loving you unconditionally despite your dramatic tendencies, intense overspending habits and ability to make the house a wreck anytime you're home.

    Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

    April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

    Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
