To the people who "care too much" about anything and everything, there isn't much you wouldn't do for others and I think that is something to be proud of. I know a handful of you and I know there are many out there in this world who have been told to stop being "so emotional" or to stop "caring so much", but I think you're great just the way you are.

To the people who "care too much" about people who have left them or never stayed to get to know them, I am proud of you. You may always care about them, but know that it's not your fault they missed out on an opportunity to get to know someone who is as great as you are.

To the people who "care too much" about academics, there is nothing wrong with wanting to succeed. I know some people may say that you're too focused or that you should lighten up and have some fun, but you are focusing on something that is going to better you for the future. Never let someone try to convince you that your hard work isn't worth something. Everything you are working on has a purpose and I'm proud of you for wanting to do great things.

To the people who "care too much" about music, play on. If you love music and it's your passion, don't let others tell you it's a waste of time. If music allows you to express why you are the way you are, or why you do certain things, keep showing the world through your compositions.

To the people who "care too much" about people who don't want them, it's going to be okay. If you think that no one will ever want you, know that someone will. It may or may not be soon, but know that you are not alone. You have friends and family who want you in their life and they are happy to have you around.

To the people who "care too much" about loved ones they've lost, you are allowed to be upset and grieve anyway you need to. You are a strong person who, just like everyone else, needs time to come to terms with this loss. You will make it through this.

To the people who "care too much", you are allowed to feel what you want to feel and never let anyone tell you different. They don't know how you react or respond to certain events or people in your life. If you feel strongly about something that someone else doesn't, that doesn't mean you're weird or too emotional. I know sometimes it may seem like caring so much can cause you heartache or problems, but keep caring because there are people out there who are grateful for your kind heart and your thoughtfulness.

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.

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!
