To Mothers

Mothers are a blessing sent from God.

To Mothers
Dr. Odd

Moms. They are a really special kind of person. They nurture you from the time you were in their bellies until their last day. A mother's love is truly the most rewarding thing a person could have. For those who have lost their mother, never met their mother, or simply refuse to communicate with them, you still have that love. Though everyone's situation is different, you should always love your mother whether or not she is your biological mom.

Mothers are there through thick and thin. They do not receive the credit for half of the things they do for our ungrateful attitudes. Growing up, the majority of us despised being told no, that we could not do this or that. But as we get older we should be thanking them for being protective as they probably saved us from so much trouble. Our mothers (and fathers) are the main reasons why we are who we are and where we are in our lives today.

Advice. I cannot speak for everyone, but my mom has given me the BEST advice. For whatever situation, I could always count on my mom being there for me and helping me through it. For example: break ups. Everyone goes through them. My mom was my rock through my very first real break up, and I could not be more grateful to have had her shoulder to cry on. If you think your mom's advice wouldn't work, you're lying to yourself because ten times out of ten, your mother has been through it. She is so wise; listen to her and take the advice she provides you with because some people aren't blessed with it.

Mothers do everything. Work, clean, cook dinner, help with homework, etc. They do it all. It's like they have some unnatural super power to be really good multi-taskers. I'm not sure if it's because they had to learn how to do it or if it just comes naturally after having children. But I give them props because I have my own apartment, am a full-time student, was working, and I know there are days that I did NOT want to spend my extra time cleaning my apartment. Though they cannot do absolutely everything themselves, giving their children chores will help them in the long run.

I think of my mom as a very strong-willed woman. She overcame so much to provide my siblings and me with the best life possible. I never have a doubt in my mind that she will always be there to support me, no matter how crazy my ambitions get. She deserves the world and more. She gave up so much for all her kids and now that I am older, I have a new respect for everything she has done. Yes, she can get a bit scary when she is mad but, honestly, who isn't? I find myself being more and more like my mother, and I pray to God that I will be half the mother she was to me. I love you momma and thank you for being you.

Thank your mother for all she does for you. Love her endlessly and NEVER take her for granted because life is too short.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
