Ladies, Guys Like Getting Flowers Too

Okay, not exactly roses but still, treat your man!

Any girl can admit: coming home to flowers or a surprise from your man is one of the greatest feelings ever.

He remembered which kind you like and was thinking about you! He was thinking about seeing you smile so much that he went to the store and picked them out just for you.

Or maybe it isn't flowers you like. Maybe he texted you that he wants to take you to your favorite restaurant this weekend, and you couldn't be more excited.

My boyfriend could surprise me with a box of raisins and my face would still look like:

It feels good knowing someone thought of you! Pick a memory, any memory, where your boyfriend bought you a random surprise or took you out to dinner. Now think: when's the last time you did something like that for him?

It's nice having someone take care of you all the time and go the extra mile to surprise you, so why wouldn't you want to do the same for your boyfriend?

I get it. A lot of guys are more traditional and want to make sure that you don't have to worry about a thing on dates, but it's okay to pay for dinner sometimes.

Tell your boyfriend you want to take him to his favorite restaurant, on you. Just explain how appreciative you are for everything he does for you and say that you want him to feel just as good as he makes you feel.

If you are going out of town or won't see him for a night, leave his favorite beer, snack and money for him to order dinner with a sweet note, letting him know how much he means to you.

Long distance? Send your man a care package with ALL of his favorite goodies: candy, snacks, socks, gas or restaurant gift cards.

We are so used to expecting men to pay for our dinner and surprise us with thoughtful gifts, yet we don't do the same for them. Just because your boyfriend may not want flowers, it doesn't mean you can't surprise him with a little something every once in a while to remind him that you think of him, too.

So ladies, make sure your boyfriend knows you appreciate him and surprise him! Don't just do it once every few months, make it a weekly thing. You should want to treat your man.

Pick him up breakfast, grab him the snacks he likes from the store and get that man some flowers!

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!
