As Mother's Day comes and goes, it's a time where you truly realize how lucky you are to have an amazing mom. It's easy to take for granted all the wonderful things that your mom does for you. I compiled a few reasons why you should appreciate your mom even more than you already do.

1. She always has your back.

For all the times she has held your hand through the battles in life and the times that she supported you in every dream you had, your mom was always there and always will be.

2. She is always your #1 supporter.

Your mom has most likely been to every recital, sports game, art show, etc. She never fails to be there cheering you on with a proud smile on her face.

3. Sometimes she knows you better than you know yourself.

Your mom can tell something is wrong just by looking at you. Whether you got into a fight with your best friend or maybe you are just feeling off, she knows. She automatically makes your favorite food and comforts you; how much luckier could you be?

4. She gives you the reality check that you need.

Sometimes you can get a little bit too sassy or full of yourself and your mom easily fixes that. Moms always have a way of bringing you back down to Earth.

5. You always have the best laughs and memories.

Your mom is the person you've been bonded to since you came into this world. Nothing will ever compare to that. The endless laughs and memories you made with her will always be something you treasure your whole life.

So, send your mom a text, call her, or even go see her and give her the biggest hug. You are fortunate enough to have a person who loves you unconditionally and only wants the world and more for you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
