Dear Mommy

Thank You For Everything

As we all grow up we try to gain our independence. The phone calls to mom get shorter. The night time stories just up and disappear. Even the family meals go away after a while because you are so busy with everything else in your crazy busy life. We all get to this point and as teenagers, we all think that it is just what happens as we get older. Little do we know how much we are hurting the woman who helped us become who we are today. She smiles as she sees us grow up and do so much more with our lives, but she misses her baby that used to give her a hug every day as she came in the door. So to my wonderful mother, even though I don't say these every day, here's some things I want you to always remember.

1. I am so thankful for everything you do.

I know I don't say it every time you do something for me, because if that were the case I would never stop saying it! You do so much for me and for this family, and without you, we would be lost. I could never have become the way I am if I didn't have you to teach me how to do all that you do and more.

2. I appreciate the texts I get from you

The texts telling me to have a great day, and the I love you texts absolutely make my day! It warms my heart to know that even the middle of your crazy amount of work you still think about all of your children. Even the lame jokes or silly little things you find on Facebook make my day 1000 times better.

3. I will forever be your little girl.

No matter how old I get, how many people I meet, or where I go I will always be your little girl. I know that it scares you that I go off to college soon, and that I am growing up, but it won't change that I will always be your baby girl. No matter what, you are stuck with me as your kiddo :)

4. I love you

No matter if we get into a fight, have a problem, or are so upset we cry, I love you. I have from the moment I was brought into this world and I will love you for eternity. I couldn't ask for a better mother to help me through this crazy journey called life.

Thank you for everything mommy. I am so lucky to have you as my mom.

Love,

your little girl.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

1807

tv.com

"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!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

6. You were always the first to leave your group of friends when hanging out.

7. If you say you will be home at a certain time, you better be home at that time.

8. Seeing a missed call from your parents sends fear and horror through your veins.

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

1. You’re tired of people asking you if you know what “RBF” stands for every time you zone out.

2. You’re constantly using the excuse, “I’m just tired” when people ask you if you’re mad.

3. Or “I’m just thinking.”

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”

Some of your best ideas come through boredom.

1. If the professor is late by one minute, I'm leaving.

2. Oh crap, that's due TODAY?!

3. Can I nap in here?

4. I wonder what they're serving at the cafeteria.

5. How much does my teacher even get paid?

6. How much will I get paid?

7. This is the longest 50 minutes of my life.

8. Maybe if I call mom, she'll give me money.

9. How much do street performers make anyway?

10. Why am I here? I could be a street performer by now.

11. Oh right, I'm not talented.
