As I am already introduced I bet you are super familiar with me. I am your everyday annoyance that sticks with you even through your sleep. Yes, that's me running through your head as you have those wild crazy dreams. I am the thing that doesn't let you get a break because I am literally the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and the first thing you think about what you wake up. Aren't you so lucky to have me?

You know when you're out with the ones you love and you're smiling and laughing but you have an odd pit in your stomach or a weird feeling in your chest, don't worry that's just me. Did you think you could go somewhere without me? Every morning that you wake up wishing for a good day but you can't stop crying it's just me raining on your parade. Some days I will even do this thing where I make you feel like you're totally alone and no one loves you, even though you know damn sure they do. Basically, I am your lifelong worst enemy. I am a monster that dwells inside of the most important part of your human life, your mind. I practically take over your mind on your worst days. Without you there would be no me, so I sure thank you for your existence.

As much as I love you as my host, there are certain days where you totally anger me. The days where I am knocking inside of your head, practically whispering in your ears telling you every worst case scenario, and you ignore me. Gosh, I hate that. I can't stand when you are out occupying yourself with something other than me. It is completely unfair because if you don't feed me by letting me consume you I could die off or something. Maybe one day you would wake up after depriving me of your time and I would be gone. Wouldn't that be horrifying? How could you deprive me, I am with you every single day and that is just completely rude. Every day that you lay in bed with me and cry or think about all the bad things you make me extra happy, but the days you run off and do things and laugh all day are just super sucky.

So as you can see, you threaten to abolish me by not giving me the time of day. I love to be on your shoulders, making you feel like the weight of the world is there. I love to be in your head as you zone out of conversations because you can't stop listening to me. I love to make you feel as if no one understands you because then, I get more time with you. Better yet, you get more time with me and who doesn't want that. You can't leave me behind, I am with you every day. After all, I am your best friend aren't I?

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.

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!
