9 Life Lessons From My Momma That Everyone Should Learn

Throughout my life so far my mother has played the biggest role in my life. She has taught me many lessons that I will use throughout my life. I am so thankful to have a mom that I can look up to so much. The lessons she taught me will get me through life and make me the better person throughout. She is my hero and here are some things she taught me that I think a lot of girls need to hear/learn.

1. Always tell the truth

One of the best qualities someone can have is trustworthy and being honest. Once you lie you will have to come up with a lie to cover a lie, telling the truth is much less anxiety.

2. Be who you want to be

Seek to be exactly who you want to be, be someone you would want to be friends with. Find out who you want to be and be just that

3. Do what makes you happy

Never be anything but happy. Do whatever is going to make you happy regardless of everyone's opinion. Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

4. Make your own decisions

Don't let others influence your decisions. Do what you want to do otherwise it probably isn't going to be the right decision or make you happy.

5. Relationships are supposed to be friendships not ownerships

When in a relationship they are supposed to be your partner, your best friend not someone who controls your every move

6. You need to be selfish sometimes

There is no way you can always please everyone. In important situations sometimes you need to put yourself first and make sure you are happy before trying to make everyone else happy. You are the only one who is always going to be there.

7. Always be kind

There is too much hate this world already for everyone to be mean. Treat others how you want to be treated and the good usually comes back to you. You never know what someone else is going through so don't add to their bad day. Be kind.

8. Always chase your dreams

In this world everything is possible, it might not always happen right away but if you work hard enough for it, it is bound to happen. You might fail at first but at least you know you tried your hardest.

9. Life is too short to be anything but happy

Do the things you need to do but always make sure you are happy while doing them. You never know how much time you have and there is no reason to live this life unhappy. Whatever it is that you are doing just make sure over everything, you are happy.

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?
