Dear Mom,

Thank you for always loving me unconditionally and never giving up on me. Thank you for all the late night laughs and serious conversations. Thank you for being there through my first heart break and telling me he wasn't worth my tears. Thank you for letting me grow up in church and have a relationship with Christ. Thank you for showing me how to be a Godly women.

I'm sorry for all the times I never listened to you. I'm sorry for the times I lied to you. I'm sorry for all the times we are at each other's throats.

Thank you for letting me be me. Thank you for all the long road trips when we laugh and sing for four hours at a time before falling asleep. Thank you for listening to all my stupid problems that really aren't that bad. Thank you for always being there no matter what. Thank you for letting a bunch of teenage girls run around the house all summer because we all rode to work together.

Thank you for being my mom. I love you

Dear Dad,

Thank you for being my own personal super hero. Thank you for loving me and protecting me. Thank you for always being there when I feel like no one else is. Thank you for understanding me and helping me when I'm at my lowest. Thank you for helping me through school and pushing me too do my best.

I'm sorry for all the times I lied to you. I'm sorry for every time I didn't listen. I'm sorry for all the fights and all my attitudes.

Thank you for all the goofy faces and silly laughs. Thank you for making up your own words to songs on the radio to make car rides fun. Thank you for letting me be me. Thank you for supporting me and helping me grow into the woman I am today. Thank you for taking me fishing at midnight and then going to Waffle House at 2 in the morning. Thank you for teaching me to drive ( even though I still can't back up that great). Thank you for taking me hunting and letting me help clean the animal afterwards. Thank you for teaching me how to love everyone whether they are rich or poor, black or white, male or female.

Thank you for being my dad. I love you and I miss you so much.

Thank you both so much for being the best parents anyone could have. I love you both more than life itself and I couldn't imagine this world without either of you. Thank you for loving me and giving me the best little sister and brother in the world. Thank you for moving us around so we could meet our lifelong best friends. Thank you for moving us back so we could be with our old friends and family. Thank you for everything you do. I promise it doesn't go unnoticed and it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for being my parents

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
