I'm at the second to last season of my show: The Good Wife on Amazon Prime.

Everyone knows how that feels.

You finally found a show to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and countless others and there's actually five to six seasons or better yet you found one with seven! How lucky are you? You've become enraptured in this show, their emotions are your emotions. Your favorite character died? No, not them! Anyone but them. Why would the producers do this to you? Don't they know that you have so much invested in their wellbeing? Obviously they're doing this to punish you, they don't really care about your feelings. You're not important to them, they're selfish becuase what else could they be if they killed off your favorite character?

You're on season six now, episode thirteen of twenty-two and you slow your roll. You don't want to get to season seven too fast because then what are you going to do with your life? You'll end up in a funk. The one you get after you finish watching a show and now you don't know what to do with the extra time you have. You could do some homework? But nah, you have plenty of time for that. You could find a hobby one that you have to do outside and not sitting on your couch in front of your tv? Ew, only weirdos like doing things outside, I'm more of a couch potato. Instead you just sit around and picture your life, how it would be if you hadn't watched that last episode. You'd still have meaning to your life, a purpose. You wouldn't be floating, wandering aimlessly looking for the next great show to binge watch with at least five seasons.

You flip through the options on Netflix, then Amazon Prime, Hulu, Showtime and HBO. Still nothing catches your attention. You sigh and just as you're about to turn off the tv and pick up a book something catches your eye.

Is that? No, it couldn't be.

Yes, it's a show that looks interesting and it has six seasons.

Suits, please don't disappoint me.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
