30 Reasons Why You Can't Live Without Your Mom

Mothers. They literally brought about our existence. They're everything you hope and aspire to be when you grow up. Let's be honest, you'd be completely lost without her. As you get older- you realize there are just some things you couldn't do without her.

  1. Who else will you argue with you on the phone and end the conversation with "I love you, too."
  2. You'll never be able to hang a leveled picture or shelf by yourself.
  3. They know all the home remedies to fix your pain/illness.
  4. She always knows what advice to give you. Even when you're in a situation she doesn't particularly like.
  5. She gave you birth. Say, "Thank You." You literally couldn't live without her.
  6. She'll always make sure you don't go hungry.
  7. And she always knows your favorite foods.
  8. They'll answer your phone call at any time of the day, for any amount of time.
  9. She knows exactly what to do to cheer you up.
  10. She'll tell you when you should change your clothes... Or put on some make up.
  11. She puts up with you and your friends vulgar gossiping, even though she cringes at the information.
  12. She gives the best hugs. Nothing's better than a mom-hug.
  13. They tell you the things you NEED to hear, though you might not want to hear them.
  14. You can always count on a text asking you to update her about Pop Culture. Ex) What's a Trap House? What is bae? Who is Bobby Shmurda?
  15. She'll always pick you up when you need a ride.
  16. You can count on a cute note ending with "XOXO, MOM" in your lunch bag.
  17. She's your #1 Fan!
  18. You're always good for at least one Instagram like.
  19. She gives the BEST care packages.
  20. When you move away, you can inherit her sweatshirts so it's like you're still cuddling at night.
  21. Your friends are like your sisters/brothers. Your friends are like her daughters/sons.
  22. She's always down for a shopping trip. And is always down not to tell your father.
  23. Big Macs at 2am... Let's go.
  24. Let's be honest- some days, she's the only person you call or text.
  25. "You look just like your mother."
  26. She's always excited for you, no matter how big or small the news is.
  27. She remembers all the childhood memories you wish you could remember.
  28. She'll tell the embarrassing stories and show the embarrassing pictures to your crush. (You secretly love it.)
  29. When you meet people from her work, they'll already know everything about you from the stories she tells and the shrine of pictures on her desk.
  30. No matter what, she loves you unconditionally.


Love ya, girl!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
