My Mother Is My Best Friend

In honor of Mother's Day...

My Mother Is My Best Friend
Sabrina Galaviz

There are very few teenagers who can genuinely say their mother is their best friend. I am blessed enough to have an extremely strong relationship with the extremely strong woman I call my mom.

My mom is a warrior princess. There is no greater fitting term I can find for her than that. She is a champion and fighter above all. She has overcome great adversities while still maintaining a grace that so many people lack.

My mom is a mentor. She's an excellent leader. She has given me my communication and people skills, which I closely use in identifying who I am as person. Seeing her accomplish so much in academics and the work place has shown me all that I am capable of as well.

My mom is a comedian. She pulls goofy faces and jokes on the daily. There hasn't been a day of my life that she hasn't made laugh. We practically cry because we laugh so hard so frequently. We just click with our humor and silly way of speaking.

My mom is a woman I aspire to be. She has such wisdom and strength, such beauty and grace. I hope to imitate all of her best qualities, I know she's already passed many on to me. She does so much good for others and has always cared to her deepest capabilities.

My mom is a great comfort. She is the only person who has always been there for me. Anytime I need help or the tears came rolling down she was the one there. She was the one there every time I broke down. When I had no one else I had her.

My mom is my best friend. At the end of the day I will always have her. I miss her when we spend too much time apart. I cannot imagine a world without her. Shopping, playing cards, and binge watching the Gilmore Girls are pastimes reserved for her. We have a special way of communicating and spending time together that I wouldn't trade for the word. I love my mom.

Thank you for everything mom. Happy Mother's Day.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
