6 Signs That You Have A Great Mom
Mary Minns

Most people think that your mom has to be your biological mother. I do not think so. I believe a mom is someone who does all these things for you in your life. The one woman in your life that you can always rely on and the one person you always want to be present in your life. Here are signs that confirm you have an amazing woman in your life you can call your mom.

She is your #1 cheerleader!

Your mom will always be your number #1 cheerleader and supporter. You know you have a great mom if you can look into the crowd and see her smiling big back at you. They first and foremost will correct you if you are wrong but moms will also be there to support you when you are right.

You can't stay apart for too long.

Giphy

You ever find yourself feeling like something missing and then realized that it's your mom. Often times this is when you find yourself alone in a grocery store. However, being in college you are often miles or even states away from the most amazing women in your life.

You talk all the time.

Giphy

OK, literally I call my mom after class. Do I feel any shame? Hell No! You know you have a great mom when she is the first person you want to call at the end of the day. Being able to call your mom, whenever you want, is probably one of the biggest blessings one can have in their lives. If you do not have anyone to call you always know you have your mother there to listen to all your problems.

She is the definition of cool.

So I don't know about you but my mom is literally the definition of cool. She is super cornball even with all her smarts but she is the main person I want to hang out with. Why? Because she is the only person I know will not judge me even in the slightest. Your mom will be the one to always offer you a smile and turn your frown upside down.

"Mom" has become your favorite word.

Giphy

So my mom probably gets tired of me screaming "MA!" around the house but frankly, I don't care anymore. When you find yourself instinctively screaming "MOM!" you know you have your best friend for life. It may not be the first word out your mouth but it will be the one you love to say.

She's literally your best supporter.

Giphy

My mom is the strongest person I know. She literally is the definition of boss. She has three whole degrees and a successful career. Not to mention she raised my pain in the ass self. And did it all with grace, elegance, and poise. If you find that your inspiration in life comes from one special woman you know you have an amazing mother.

Being in college is the time to bask in your independence. But you should also take a moment to think back to who helped you get to were you are now because I guaranty you that there is probably a very strong woman behind you.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
