1. Ask her to help you with a problem

Even something small! Moms are so good at knowing things, and she will be touched you thought to ask her.

2. Ask about family

Ask her about your aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents! Anyone you don't speak to regularly but, could check up with through your mom. It will also make your extended family glad you asked about them.

3. Tell her some good news

Did you get a good grade? Meet someone new? Get an offer at work? Tell her! Even if it's as small as a compliment someone gave you, let her know. She wants to celebrate you.

4. Tell her about your day

I am sure she wants to know! Even if you did nothing, give her a quick ring and let her know about that nothingness. Give her a chance to tell you about her day too - that call is sure to be the highlight of it.

5. Plan time to see her

Ask her to come visit you, or just plan a FaceTime night. She will be so excited to talk with you a little more, and you can see the rest of your family too.

6. Tell her about something new

Tell her about an article you read or a rumor you heard. If you tried a new restaurant you think she'd like, tell her that too! She can try them out as well, and offer her own opinions, and she'll be excited to have something else to share with you.

7. Ask her about her time when she was your age

This one may sound a little dumb but, if you're having an experience because of your age, ask her what she did! She's probably been through it, even if it's something you think is absurd. Moms have lived lives we have no clue about, so ask her to let you in.

8. Ask for some advice

What are you struggling with? She wants to help you. Let your mom in, and let her give you some comfort and advice. You'll both walk away from the conversation feeling better.

9. Tell her you love her

Do it!! Do it right now. It will mean the world to her.

And while you're at it, call your dad too.

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.

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
