Most mothers are self-proclaimed "cool moms." They think they could easily hang with their kids' generation of music, fashion, and media. I decided to put this confidence to the test by giving my own mom a pop culture quiz complete with current lyrics, phrases, and references. Here are her hilariously misinformed answers:

1. Fill in the blank: "thank u, next" by Ariana Grande

Thought I'd end up with a lot of money

But he wasn't a money maker

Wrote some songs about bein' rich

Now I listen and cry

Even almost got a lottery ticket

And for that, I'm so thankful

Wish I could say, "Thank you" to my kids

'Cause he was a handful

2. Fill in the blank: "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift

So it's gonna be Christmas

Or it's gonna go poorly

You can tell me when it's time to open gifts

If the gifts were worth the trouble

Got a long list of people

They'll tell you thanks

'Cause you know I love the holidays

And you love the good food

3. Guess Who: What is the name of the famous male singer known for his smooth dance moves, who is also a judge on "World of Dance?"

Jason Da Rillo

4. Guess Who: Who sings this song lyric--"Now they always say congratulations, worked so hard, forgot how to vacation"?

Kanye West

5. Guess Who: Who is James Charles?

A jazz singer.

6. Guess Who: What celebrity is featured in the "Hey Girl" meme?

Keke ("You know, from the song.")

7. Guess Who: Who invented the "Milly Rock?"

Milly Vanilli

8. Movie Trivia: What's the first rule of the fight club?

Never fight without your gloves on.

9. Movie Trivia: Complete the "Mean Girls" quote--"So if you're from ________, why are you ________?"

the cool group; wearing your grandma's sweater

10. Movie Trivia: Complete the Hunger Games quote--"That is _______!"

Ridiculous

11. Slang: What is "ship" short for?

"Ships ahoy!" which means "bye, I'm outta here!"

12. Slang: What does "straight fire" mean?

Cut to the chase; get straight to the point

13. Slang: What does "bae" stand for?

Buddies Are Excellent

14. Slang: What are Beyonce's fans called?

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along.

Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
