Shake it off like an etch a sketch.

Everyone makes mistakes. Big and small. What matters is how you handle them and take the fact that you did the wrong thing. Or on the other side of the rope did the wrong thing, be the more mature one to put them in shock and show them that they should not mess with you. Owning up to your mistakes is so important. Instead of trying to hide the obvious. Maybe people that you thought you'd have for the rest of your life left. Remember that for everyone lost, you will gain someone else even better than what you had.

People leave and things change but you need to be the bigger person and handle things the right and mature way. If you for some reason reach out to someone who has hurt you and lost you, you think they screen shot the text and send it to others talking bad about you, let them because you're being the bigger person and just by doing that, they're small. Whatever you do, do not let people have the power to make you feel small. If you do, they win. That's what they want, don't give it to them.

Notice how I said "lost you" a few sentences ago.Anyone you think you lost actually lost you. You're such a spectacular person who has so much to offer a friend, significant other and the world. You're going to make someone great of yourself I guarantee it. If you ever think that no one believes in you just think of me, Rosina Facciponte. I'm on your side. I may not know your exact scenario of why this catches your attention so much now but I can guarantee you that I understand. When you think no one could possibly be on your side, I bet some can and will understand where you're coming from. You just have to surround yourself with the right people.

Life is full of mistakes and lessons learned. Don't let them break you down because that is just what they want. Shake it off like an etch a sketch and create more beautiful than ever image of yourself and show it off, flaunt it because you deserve to be confident and happy.

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!
