I'm the Girl Who Is Close to Her Mom

She's my best friend

Nov 09, 2019

I'm that girl who loves endlessly, just like my mom taught me. She taught me so many things - how to do laundry at college, how to handle stressful situations, when to cry and just how much ice cream to eat when that happens, and she's taught me how to be the girl I am today.

My mom is my best friend, shoulder to cry on, and my biggest supporter that I have. She is always on my side, except when I forget to clean my room for the second day in a row, but she always supports me. From boy problems to college, she has always helped me more than anyone.

I'm that girl who calls her mom once a day, if not twice. Whether I'm walking to class or laying in bed, I'm always FaceTiming my mom and telling her about my day or the dog I just saw. And no, I am not ashamed of it either.

There have been plenty of people who ask, "Why do you always involve your mom in the things that are going on in your life?" it's because she always has my best interest at heart. She always tells me how she sees it, whether I agree or disagree. For those who say I'm too close to my her or ask why I tell my mom so much about my life, I constantly find myself pondering how they couldn't. Family is so important to me. Without them, I wouldn't be half the girl I am today.

My mom always knows what to say and how to say it. I tell her everything, even if it means I could get in trouble for it. There are days that I needed a stern lecture when I've messed up, or when I needed to celebrate because I finished my homework a day early. She's my biggest supporter and best friend. Without her by my side, I know I couldn't have accomplished half of the things I have today. I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world.

Being away from home at college is hard enough as it is, but I think it would be unbearable if I didn't have the support of my family constantly. They always want what's best for me and what will make me happy.

My family is my everything. Truly. They've taught me so much in general, but they've also helped me become who I am today. Without them, I know that I would not be the girl I am today.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
