Since day one, my mom has been my biggest motivator and loudest supporter. She never fails to protect me and stand up for me, doing whatever it is she knows I need from her.

Even though I've always been very close with my mom, I often look back on times where I wish I would have been nicer to her. Being away at college has made me realize how much she really does for me, and has also made me appreciate her even more.

Here are some things I wish I would have told my mom more often.

1. Thank you 

This seems simple, but there are so many times I wish I would have thanked my mom. From driving me to school, to doing my laundry and cooking, she deserves a thank you for all the hard work she puts in to make my life better.

2.  I'm sorry 

I wish I would apologize to my mom more often for the times where I take my anger out on her or have a bad attitude towards her even though she did nothing to deserve it.

3. Do you need help?

My whole life, my mom has constantly been doing things to help me. She does laundry, cooks and cleans, walks the dog, and works. There are too many times where I find myself comfortable with letting her pull the whole load, and I know I should help her more.

4. I support you

My mom has always supported me in everything I do, and it's sometimes easy to overlook the fact that parents need support too. I wish I would be a bigger cheerleader for my mom sometimes, and encourage her the way she does with me.

5. I'm thankful for you 

Not only am I thankful for all that my mom does, but I am thankful for who she is. She is bold and unique and unapologetically herself, and I'm so thankful to have such a cool mom.

6. I love you 

Even though I tell my mom I love her pretty often, I really can never say it too much.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
