5 Things I Say Playing Words With Friends With My Mom
Words With Friends

If you've ever started a game on Words With Friends, then you know about those iconic players that are amazing with words. I play this game here and there with a few people but my mom is my biggest contender. She's an RN nurse so I'm guessing the years she's racked above me and her medical knowledge is what makes her so good. Here are 5 things I find myself saying when I play my mom.

1. Are you freaking kidding me? *insert a large number of points* for a 3 letter word?!

I usually say this one when it's the beginning of the game and my mom has somehow managed to score 60 points or more using three letter. How in the world is that possible if I've only played one word so far?

2. Lol wow, nice word mom *laughing*

My mom using some funny words sometimes. I think that's one of the most interesting parts of playing the game. You only get a certain amount of randomly assigned letters to make any word that you can think of. Besides that, my mom is super creative.

3. You're taking it easy on me, aren't you?

This thought occurs when I'm winning. I've never won a game against my mom, at least not yet, but there are tiny moments when I will be winning by like 10 points or so. I do get the thought that she is taking it easy on me and then the next round she plays a word... 35+ points are scored. I will never deceive her skills again.

4. Bam! Try to beat that one!!

The slight excitement any player would get after playing a really god word worth a high value of points. Although I get cocky sometimes, I am then hit with a nice batch of karma when my mom makes a huge comeback. These comebacks usually put her in the lead about 40 or more points.

5. You have to admit, I'm getting better at this. *smirks*

I'll admit this is another one of my cocky moments, even though my mom always wins. I think that if you play with someone who is really good at the game you will improve over time. I try to learn from my mistakes and from my mom's victories. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

I'm coming for you mom! Rematch!!

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
