I am a super-duper senior. By this I mean that I am on my 6th year of college, and finally graduating. That being said there are younger students that have experienced Spring break in ways completely different to myself. I never did the Myrtle Beach thing, or the Jersey Shore month of parties. I was a home stay, but this year, I'm flying the coop.

Even though I won't be doing anything 'exciting' for spring break, I won't be staying with family, be it my aunt who was closer to home when I went to school in PA, or my mom's house. I will be staying with a friend for a few days before taking off to CMA with the RIC radio station in New York City.

That being said, I have some expectations for what my week will entail. I do expect there to be lots of drunken young adults to take care of as well as some crazy attempts to have me cut loose. Being the Mom friend has some disadvantages, but not when people really want to party with you.

The strangest thing will be the fact that I'm not just staying at home. I'll be running around and doing things with people for once. Usually I just sit at home and read whatever I hadn't gotten a chance to read yet.

Now, this is not a complaint about being home, being at home is great; home cooked meals, and snuggles with siblings or pets. The hard part is scheduling. They still have work and school, and you don't, so there is a bit of an adjustment, but by the time routine is set, it's time to go back.

I don't know what this Spring break has in store for me. I know that it will be one that I have yet to experience, and that I will have a good time no matter what. But as my last Spring break, I can't help but feel that the pressure is on.

Tune in next week to see how it went, I guess. And wish me luck!

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!
