45 Things We Still Ask Our Moms

When I moved away to school I moved into an apartment style dorm. I thought I knew enough to live away from my Mom and not really worry about anything. Boy was I wrong. I find myself calling and texting her about the weirdest things to make sure I don't blow up my oven or something.

Even though I'm 19 and I work enough to support myself, I am still far from being a "real adult", so these are some of the things I should know but still have to ask my mom about.

14. I'm almost in red on my gas meter, can I make it wherever I'm going (even though she doesn't even drive my car)?

15. Do you like the new bras I got (of course with pictures of said bras)?

16. Do you have any Kohls coupons on your email?

.17. Did you fill out my financial aid papers?

18. Did you see the sale at Bath and Body Works? ( my mom and I go ham for sales)

19. If I get another tattoo will you still love me?

20. If I shave my head like Brittney in 2007 will you still love me?

21. Can you help me get a bus ticket to come home?

22. When does our data reset? (LOL at the fact my brother, mom, and I all share data)

23. Can I wear you (Insert any clothing item that fits me too)

24. Is this a stress rash or am I dying?

25. Which toothbrush is mine?

26. Can I get wine out of a blanket?

27. What kind of face mask should I do?

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.
