A Letter To My Mom After A Big Fight

Dear Mom,

I know you are infuriated with me right now, but I have a few things to say to you to try and make it better. Fighting with you upsets me just as much as it upsets you. I hate seeing you mad because you really are my best friend and I would do anything to see you happy.

I know you think that I do not appreciate everything that you do for me, but I want to take this opportunity to thank you for giving me the world, since I do not do it enough.

Thank you for changing my diaper when the only thing you wanted to do was sleep. Thank you for not giving up on me when I went through the terrible twos. Thank you for taking me into preschool on my first day, second, and every one after that until I stopped crying. Thank you for signing me up for every youth sport under the sun. Thank you for going to those games even though I preferred to pick the grass instead of play. Thank you for buying me the coolest backpack and lunchbox combo the first grade ever saw. Thank you for always taking pictures even though I hated the camera. Thank you for buying me a hamster even though you hated rodents. Thank you for making me do my summer reading.

Thank you for explaining puberty even though I ran away crying. Thank you for convincing me that my braces weren’t that ugly. Thank you for giving me a curfew, even though I did not appreciate it at the time. Thank you for telling me that my eighth grade boyfriend wasn’t the guy for me. Thank you for buying me the sneakers I wanted and never wore. Thank you for still putting out cookies for Santa when you had only teenagers in the house. Thank you for pushing me to get a summer job. Thank you for teaching me how to drive, even though it caused a few gray hairs. Thank you for taking me on every college tour and buying me a t-shirt after. Thank you for cheering loudly when they announced my name at graduation. Thank you for having the courage to leave me at school that first night of freshman year. Thank you for always being there to answer my phone calls. Thank you for everything you do for me.

I hope you realize now that all of your effort has not gone unnoticed. You really do mean the world to me even though I do not say it enough.

I love you, and I hope this fight will not last much longer.

Your Daughter

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
