I Won't Apologize For Being Best Friends With My Mom

I am beyond blessed to have you as my mother, but also my best friend.

Whenever I get asked who my best friend is, my answer is almost always my mom. She has been the one there for me through anything, and everything. From my broken arm when I was four, to me venting about boys and how the world can be cruel and stupid, she never judges me for the decisions I make, and whenever we do not agree on something, we discuss it, and usually compromise on whatever that may be.

She is always the first person I go to whenever life is treating me unkind, or even kind. She celebrates my accomplishments, and I celebrate hers. She lifts me up whenever I need it, and I do the same for her. On days I know I get to spend with her, I get really happy inside, and when we argue, she is still always there for me, and I know she still loves me.

My mom has taught me more about the world than just about anyone I know. She gives great advice, and even once in a while, I give her some as well. Shopping trips are always fun because on occasion, we will get matching outfits. It sounds a bit cliché but it is a lot of fun. Also, I cannot forget about our Taco Bell stops. The day at the mall just is not the same if it doesn't end with Taco Bell. She is also on the same page as me almost always when it comes to initiating selfies

My mom has also been my biggest role model in life. She has been the one to teach me to never give up on dreams, and eventually hard work will pay off. We have the privilege of playing sports together, which I would not trade for the world. She has taught me that age does not matter when it comes to doing something you love. Whether it's volleyball, basketball, or softball, she gives it her all and she shows everyone what she can do.

I am beyond blessed to have such a close relationship with the person who has given birth to me, raised me, and has been there for me through thick and thin. Of course, she is my mom before anything else, but having her as a best friend is an added bonus to our relationship. I love you Mom, and thank you so much for being my best friend!

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?
