May Is For Mothers

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.” — Maya Angelou

May Is For Mothers

This is a response to I Am Unashamed Of Being Close To My Mom.

May is a month dedicated to celebrating the most important woman in our lives — our mothers. From the moment we are born, mothers are our protectors, nurturers, and our first teachers. They are the ones who love us unconditionally, and their unwavering support and guidance shape our lives in countless ways.

There is no denying that motherhood is one of the most challenging jobs in the world. Mothers are constantly juggling multiple responsibilities, from taking care of their children to managing their careers and households. They are often the glue that holds families together, sacrificing their own needs to ensure their children are healthy, happy, and well-adjusted.

Mothers play a vital role in shaping the lives of their children. They are the ones who instill important values such as kindness, empathy, and hard work. They teach us how to navigate life's challenges and encourage us to pursue our dreams. A mother's love and support are essential to a child's emotional and mental well-being, providing a sense of security and stability that is critical for healthy development.

As we grow older, our relationship with our mothers evolves. We become more independent, and our mothers become our friends and confidants. We turn to them for advice and guidance, knowing that their years of experience and wisdom can help us navigate life's challenges.

Despite the challenges that come with motherhood, mothers never stop giving. They are the ones who make us feel loved and supported, even when we are miles away. They are our constant cheerleaders, celebrating our successes and offering a shoulder to cry on when things don’t go as planned.

This May, let's take the time to honor and appreciate the mothers in our lives. Let's celebrate their sacrifices and thank them for all that they do. Whether it's through a heartfelt card, a phone call, or a special gift, let's show our mothers how much they mean to us. Let's take this opportunity to tell them that they are loved and appreciated, not just on Mother's Day, but every day of the year.

Mothers are truly the unsung heroes of our lives. They deserve all the love and appreciation we can give them, not just in May, but every day. So let's take this time to celebrate the remarkable women who have shaped our lives and continue to inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
