Your first semester of college is full of lots of questions, many of which only an expert could answer. In the case of your missing t-shirt or your need for your insurance card, the perfect expert to ask is your mom. Unfortunately, you're doing this whole adulting thing now, and she can't exactly tag alone (though sometimes you'll wish she could). Thankfully, we have the blessing of modern-day technology which makes her only a call or text away. Here are 10 phone calls you'll be making to your mom this semester:

1. “I forgot _________, and I really need it.”

I'm sure she knows where it is. She'll have it waiting at home for you the next time you come visit or she'll be super sweet and stick it in the mail.

2. “How do I make a doctors appointment? Do I even really need to go? Is it just allergies?”

These are all things you'll never know unless you call your mom (and of course, the doctor).

3. “I have four exams, three quizzes, and two papers due this week.”

Sometimes it's just good to vent about the enormous amount of work you have.

4. “So, where does the fabric softener go again?”

Washing machines are difficult, especially if you're new to doing your own laundry. Don't be afraid to ask.

5. “You won’t believe this.”

There is a lot of crazy stuff that happens in college (like a cow being on the loose on campus), and there is no one better to share a laugh with than your mom.

6. “I got such a good deal on these.”

Did you need those new Chacos? No, but they were 50 percent off, and no one loves a good deal better than Mom.

7. “Yes, I’m at my dorm.”

It may be a little hard for her to get used to you being away from home. If it gets to be late, you’ll probably get a phone call from Mom making sure you're safe and at your dorm

8. “Tell everyone I said hi and that I love them.”

It can be hard to make a phone call to everyone with such a busy schedule, but you still want them to know that you're thinking of them.

9. “I can’t make it home this weekend.”

This one is the toughest. Sometimes school and extracurriculars can get a bit overwhelming, and those extra two days seem like a saving grace. Trust me, she'll understand.

10. “I miss you.”

Leaving home is hard, and leaving your family is even harder. As time goes on, you'll get used to it, but during your first semester, it doesn't hurt to call and tell them how much you miss them every now and then.

If you need a new series to watch, I recommend One Tree Hill. I watched this series three times now and it only keeps getting better. If you need any more reasons beside the fact that all of the seasons are on Netflix for your binge-watching pleasure, here are seven more reasons to watch it.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
