White lies, twisted truths, it's all the same, right?

11 Alternative Facts We've All Told
Telephone ft. Beyonce

Sean Spicer and I probably have nothing in common except that we both like to tell alternative facts. I don't have my own personal Kellyanne Conway to cover for me but that's fine because I am perfectly capable of lying on my own--thank you very much! In my own tacky fashion I present to you the most common white lies I've told others and myself.

1. I can't go out.

Well, I technically have plans with myself. What I should have said was "I do not want to go out...ever."

2. I never got that text.

I have never told someone this (I think) but I've heard it a few times.

3. We should hang out sometime.

Ugh I want this one to be true but we all know I'll never see you again.

4. I'll go to the gym later

The fupa wants what the fupa wants and it's not cardio.

5. I love this haircut!

You tell this to your hairdresser and then you cry all the way home.

6. I have nothing to wear

Bitch, look again.

7. When someone compliments you so you immediately compliment them back.

"I like your dress." "UH. I LIKE YOUR SHOES." It's not a contest. I didn't even know that you were wearing shoes.

8. I will be productive today

But that means that I would have to get out of bed and I'm not ok with that.

9. I'm fine

If you ask me how I am, I'm not going to tell you my life's story. We don't have time for a whole sit down.

10. Yes I've read the Terms and Conditions.

I've maybe glanced at it once?

11. I'll never drink again.

I'm talking coffee of course!

Was Trump's inauguration the most watched ever? No. Do I want to eat baguettes until I explode? Yes. It's all good though.

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.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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!
