A Letter To The Most Important Person In My Life, My Mom

My mother is unlike any woman in the world. I know every daughter says that, but seriously if you met my mother you would realize there is no other mother like her. I have never met a person who is more loving, strong, and would do anything, and I mean anything, in the world for her daughters. All my life I’ve had an extremely close bond with my mother, she’s my best friend and my favorite person in the world. I was attached to my mom’s hip when I was little and not much has changed. Even though I’m away at college, I still need to hear her voice everyday and I need to come home every weekend to see her. She is my best friend and I can’t even tell you how lucky I am to be her daughter.

Dear Mom,

First off, let me tell you I love you…even though I tell you maybe 20 times a minute it doesn’t even compare to how much you really mean to me. You do everything for me and drop anything to come to my rescue to make sure I’m okay and happy. You always say that I am your life and I can’t express how much I appreciate you for that. I haven’t met any other mother who lives for her child like you do. You’re the most unselfish person I know. I know that I’m not the easiest daughter to have and we may fight sometimes, even though I will never win cause I hate to admit it but you are always right. I’m very dramatic and many times I’ve called you crying on the phone and I know you worry constantly and I must drive you crazy.

Thank you for being there for me, I’m very tough to handle at times and you somehow find a way to make the hard times easier. Thank you for being so understanding of what I do in life, between the number of tattoos I get, to my boy problems. I’m incredibly grateful to be able to tell you everything and anything, even if you don’t want to hear it. I know you say that one day I’m going to grow up and get married and leave you one day, but that will never ever happen. You know I want to live near you all my life and I expect you to live up to your promise of you coming to sleep in-between my husband and I on our wedding night haha. I want to be with you all the time and that’ll never change, ever. I promise you that.

You are my best friend and the funniest person I know. You don’t even know how excited I am to turn 21, so I can ditch all my friends and go party with you. You know how to have a good time, plus you’re the best dancer I know! I wish I could write down everything I love about you but honestly, I would never stop writing because I love you that much and more.

I believe that my purpose in this world was to be your daughter and you were always destined to be my mother. Oh god, I can’t even finish this damn letter without crying… thanks, mom. I think you are the most smartest, beautiful, and loving person on the planet. I know sometimes you get frustrated and wish you could do more in life, but you have done so much between raising my sister and me, and guiding us through life. I would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for you. I cannot thank you enough. I wish I could write more, but honestly no matter how much I write it’ll never express how much you mean to me.

You’re my best friend, my protector, my personal stylist, my therapist and the most incredible mother in the world. I love you more than anything and I am so honored to be your daughter. I’m so lucky that you were chosen to be my mother; it was the best thing that has ever happened to my life. Out of everything that will happen to me in my life, the best thing is the fact that I was chosen to be your daughter and that will never change. I love you so much mommy, I will always be your little Pookyface.

Love,

Your Daughter

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.

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.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
