Mother Knows Best

Gosh, is this woman ever wrong?

Mother Knows Best

When you were younger you always got annoyed with your mom because she was always on your a** about every little thing you did. She made sure that you were prepared for every place you went and reminded you everyday about something that was happening in a week. Yes, it was repetitive, but in the end she was always right. Here is a list of things that mom was and still is always right about.

1. Bring a sweater everywhere you go

It's 100 degrees outside and every place we went my mom would make me take a sweater. She would say, it's always air conditioned in the restaurant, movie theater, etc. It seemed she was always right. Whenever I didn't listen, I would end up freezing my butt off the entire time.

2. Eat a good breakfast

Eating a good breakfast makes you energized and ready for the day. This is true because every time I was in a rush and didn't eat that morning my day was just dull. I would come home exhausted and my mom would tell me it's because I didn't have a healthy breakfast.

3. Ignore the rude girls

My mom always said ,"The rude girls are snotty because they are just jealous of what you have going for you". I never truly believed this one until I started high school. It is completely true and you cannot let people like this ruin your happiness. Just keep 'blockin' out the haters'.

4. Kill them with kindness

Killing people with kindness is the best medicine. They can't continue to hate someone that is just so kind to everyone. It gets under their skin and you're just happily smiling at them and there isn't anything they can do about it. They realize that being rude isn't going to affect you.

5. Take your vitamins daily

Each day my mom would make me take my vitamins because according to her it'll prevent you from getting sick. I can't really prove this one yet, but since she was right about everything else, I am almost positive she is right about this one as well.

6. Don't grow up too fast

When in high school all you can think about is being in college. Then college came and now you begin to worry about the real world. My mother always told me to enjoy life and don't rush into becoming an adult. Now, I am a junior and I wish I was a freshman all over again. She's right...what's new?

7. When you loan your clothes out, make sure to get them back ASAP

She always said to make a list of what friend has borrowed what. I never did and I would never get any clothes back. Still to this day, I lose clothing items. I definitely need to work on this one.

8. The bad boys will always be bad

You can't change a boy. If they are bad news stay away because you'll only get a broken heart in the end. My mom always said nice guys shouldn't finish last.

This list is only a couple of the things that moms are always right about. I learned that listening to your mother will take you furthest in life. This is because she went through the same struggles you are going through. She has experienced everything we have; therefore we need to appreciate the things she does for us and remember that mothers do know best.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
