1. "I'm going to stop eating unhealthy food."

That sounds like such a great and wonderful idea until you realize that life is way too short for it to be spent eating leaves. On the bright side, though, you get a new set of 52 weeks to tell yourself “I swear I’m going to start on Monday.”

2. "I'm going to get so fit."

The new year. This is your year. You are going to actually do it... not. You got your new workout attire and a gym membership to go with it... gross. You’ve just got to love the beginning of the year when everyone and their mother decides to make a trip to the gym.... ugh. So here is to that solid first month that is going to remind you why you stayed away from that place for the last eleven.

3. "I'm going to stop spending all of my money on stupid things."

This time around you are going to be cost efficient and spend those paychecks on things you actually want. New year, new you. There is no way that this new you would ever spend $30 on a key chain that looks like a puff ball or approximately $2,894,752,938 on your food extravaganzas.

4. “I’m going to go to class every single day and have killer grades.”

Since you have now decided to save your money… that means you probably need to spend all of your time in the library to avoid all places that could tempt you to swipe your debit card. Perfect. That means you will have SO much more time to study!!! Look at you being all studious!! (I’ll give you until the end of syllabus week tops until this one wears off)


5. "I'm going to start being more social."

On the other end of that spectrum, you should probably crawl out of your hermit hole every once and a while, so this time around you aren’t going to spend all your time having Netflix and chill dates with…. well yourself….

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

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!
