4 Things I've Learned From My Mama

Throughout all of my life, I've been a serious mama's girl. Whenever she would leave to just run an errand without me as a little girl, I would bawl my eyes out and throw a huge fit. If she would cry, I'd cry. If she would smile, I'd smile. If I couldn't fall asleep at night, I would mosey out to the couch and she would let me lay with her until I fell asleep.

And now that I am in college, my mama isn't always there. I've had to learn to be on my own and to make my own choices without my mama there to tell me what to do. And sometimes, I regret these decisions. And she gets mad that I make the decisions I do. But she has taught me 4 key things throughout my life, that have made me the woman I am today. And I will never stop having that little feeling inside that screams "I need my mama."

1. If you dream it, you can achieve it

She has taught me to never stop working towards my goals. No wonder I was always your "me do it girl!" I learned from the best!

2. When times get tough, pray

Even though I never want to admit it, sometimes a good prayer knows how to make you feel better.

3. Stand tall, and always stay kind

You never know what someone is going through, so Mama H has always taught me to be kind and to be compassionate no matter what someone is going through!

4. Always stay true to yourself


Mama H did exactly that when she got this hunk for her birthday present! I still can't believe Aaron Rodgers showed up for her work birthday party!


I love you forever and ever, Mama H! Thanks for always being there for me throughout my whole life, and teaching me to be the best I can be.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
