An Open Letter To My Momster:

"When you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know."

Myself

Dear Mom,

I know we have our good days and our not-so-good days, but at the end of the day, everyday, I will always love you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you for everything -- from raising me on your own to always being there when I need you. Thank you for always being right, even when I wish you weren't. Thank you for warning me about those "friends" that you had an iffy feeling about. Thank you for listening to me rant and yell about all of my problems, and thank you for playing devil's advocate to give me different perspectives. Thank you for always doing the dishes because I don't feel like it. Thank you for not getting too angry when I came home from the animal shelter with the cutest little puppy, and thank you for, eventually, warming up to him (which didn't take long.) Thank you for always pushing me to be the best that I can be, and for yelling at me when I don't reach your expectations. Thank you for playing both parental roles. The older I get, the more I understand how lucky I am to have you as my mom; I now realize all of the sacrifices you made for us, and for that I cannot thank you enough.

I'm so sorry

I'm sorry for all of the times I've fought with you. I'm sorry for all the times I've been a brat. I'm sorry for all of those times I ignored you. I'm sorry for those times chose friends and materialistic things over you. I'm sorry for not listening to you when I probably should. I'm sorry for staying out later than you told me to. I'm sorry for not being the best child, but more importantly I'm sorry if I've ever dissapointed you.

You're stronger than Superman

Like I said before, we have our bad days pretty frequently, but I still love you more than anything in this world. No matter what I say when I'm angry with you, you are the best mom anyone could ever have. It takes a lot of strength and an abundance of love to raise two children all on your own. To top it all off, you handled it like a champ. You raised me and BroBro all by yourself with no help from our sperm-donors whatsoever; you gave us everything we needed and mostly everything we wanted. You did everything in your power to ensure us that we were going to be okay -- something no other super-hero could have ever done. You are, by far, the strongest and most dependable woman I have ever known. You truly are my super-hero.

...You were right...

As much as I really hate to admit it, you were always right. Looking back, it truly blows my mind about how many times that you've ended up being right about people about situations. You were right about almost all of those "friends" that you said you didn't trust. You were right when you told me that those shoes wouldn't match that shirt. You were right when you told me that I needed to stop for gas even if my car told me I had 45 miles left to go. You were right when you said everything was gonna be okay. It's almost like you have some type of future-seeing capabilities. Even though I know you're right, I always end up finding out the hard way. To be honest, I don't know why I don't listen to you more often.

You are my everything.

You have chewed me out, and you've bailed me out. You're my best friend, and you've been my worst enemy. You taught me some of the greatest lessons life has to offer; you have been there for me when noone else was. Everything I am is because of you, and everything I do is for you. Trust me when I say, I want nothing more out of life than to make you proud.You're the most amazing person I know. You have done everything in your power to make sure that i was well taken care of. You've worked countless hours just to get the things we need. You made sure I always felt loved and at ease. You are my favorite person. You are the best mom in the world. I love you to the moon and back.

Love always,

Your Baby Girl XOXO

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

4249

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.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1715

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.
