Thank You To My Mom

A few things I want to thank my mom for.

Thank You To My Mom
Erin Lisk

Ever since I was little, I knew who my hero was, the person I look up to the most, some people would say a famous celebrity, while I say my mom. So thank you mom, for all of these things and more.

1. Long Car Rides

Every once in a while we will go on long car rides, just the two of us and just talk about anything, everything and nothing. Sometimes we become philosophers talking about the meaning of life and other times we could be talking about a cat video one of us saw on Facebook or Youtube. Also we sing our lungs out to the songs we always sing together, ranging from Katy Perry to The Eagles.

2. Supports me in whatever I believe in

Whether it be playing an instrument or wanting to go into competition for archery, she's always there by my side. Even if she doesn't necessarily agree with what I want, if I'm passionate, she'll be there standing next to me.

3. Knows something's wrong even when I don't say a word

For me, I tend to hold everything in and not say anything to anyone because I don't want to be a bother. Since my mom knows this, when she sees something's on my mind, she will talk to me about it. Sometimes when I don't want to tell her yet, she will make me laugh and try to cheer me up because she knows that I will eventually tell her when I'm ready.


4. Has shown me so many different qualities a person should have

My mom has shown me so many different and great qualities through previous situations in her life whether I've seen them myself or if I've heard about them in stories. She has shown me how to make the most out of any situation, she's found strength where some would never be able to find it, and has even influenced me to do some things that have changed my life.

5. Being my best friend and mother

Ever since I can remember she has told me that I can tell her anything, no matter what, even if I knew it was something bad. If I needed her, she wouldn't hesitate to help. She is brutally honest with me, even when I don't want her to be, between saying what clothes fit me best and how she feels about my friends, I can always count on her. In this instance, mother does know best. I'm glad we are as close as we are because I can't see it any other way.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
