To MY Beautiful Mom

IT'S YO BIRTHDAY.

14
To MY Beautiful Mom

Mom, today is your birthday and to be honest is another day to celebrate the greatest mom in the world.

I know a lot of people say they have the greatest mom, but I truly believe that all six of your kiddos have been blessed with the world's greatest mom.

Don’t believe me? Well let me give you some reasons why you are so great:

1. Loving

From the first day I can remember you have always said you love me and you are proud of me. No matter what I did, how well I did it, or even if I did anything at all, you were there to tell me that you loved me and that you were proud of me.

2. Caring

You have always been more concerned about us even if it cost you sleep. From late night adventures to early morning lunch packing, you always made sure that we were taken care of even if you had to stay up late at night or get up early. I always knew that no matter what time I came home at night you would wake up to make sure that I was safe and alive, and we couldn't be more thankful for it all.

3. Teaching

From a young age you taught us about life, you taught us how to speak and walk, you taught us how to love peanut butter balls and more importantly you taught us how to love others. Never forgetting that you were a mom, you would come home from long 12-14 hour days at work to help us with our homework or just plain listen to us complain. As a single mother I knew that it was hard, some days more than others. But you always were there to teach us how to live, and that was best done by the example you showed us each and every day.You have three amazing grand babies that love you with all their hearts and adore you, just like you taught us, you are teaching them too.

4. Parenting

I have always told you that if I am 30 and not married I am adopting. Why? Because I want to be a mom. Truthfully I have always wanted to be a mom. I think some are afraid of being a parent, but not me. I know it is not easy, but your example has shown me what it means to be a parent. You have taught all of us about patience, about discipline, and about how to unconditionally love. I cannot wait to be a parent and try to be half as good of a parent as you.

5.

Number 5 I am leaving blank. Not because I ran out of things to say about you, but because I am excited for another 50- something years to celebrate your life and the many things that you have shown all of us. You are hardworking, loving, funny, sarcastic, hard headed, outspoken, beautiful and an amazing person, mother, daughter, yoohoo, sister, cousin, and many more other titles many can call you by.

Today is your day momma, party it up.


Love you always.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
