There have been multiple times when my mom has given me unwanted advice and has been ignored. Of course, she received an eye roll and what she said went through one ear and out the other. Looking back at it now, Mom, you were right. If I had taken all the advice you had given me, I would have saved not only myself, but also you time and money. Since I did not listen to you, and do not always listen to you, I can tell you this now — you have had all the right answers to my life thus far, which means you will most likely always be right. I know I have not fully experienced life, and have not experienced parenthood, but this list will definitely grow longer as I grow older. However, you have been right whenever you have said:

1. That boy is not worth your time.

2. You are gaining weight.

3 You need to study more.

4. You need to set your priorities straight to achieve your full potential.

5. Do not ever fall asleep with your make-up on.

6. Aeropostale, Abercrombie and Hollister are not brands you will be wearing in three years.

7. It looks like you are having trouble breathing in those skinny jeans.

8. You need to get a job.

9. You are not trying your hardest.

10. Do not waste your time on silly things.

11. Be careful with the people you put your trust in.

12. You have always been right about who my true friends would be, and who would only be in my life for a short period of time. Your judgment is impeccable.

13. Do not cut your hair like that.

14. I am supportive in whatever you decide to do.

15. Whenever you say "I am right."
