10 Reasons You Will Miss Your Mom When You Go To College
Lillyanne King

Throughout your life your mom has been nagging at you constantly. I am sure this annoyed you at some point but now that you're moving out, who will bug you all the time? She won't be there for you in a time of need when you're sick or need a shoulder to cry on. Therefore, here are several other reasons you'll miss her like crazy.


1. She makes the best home made food.

I bet you are thinking that you won't miss her cooking because you now have a cafeteria full of anything you want. However, I promise you that no amount of soft serve will make you forget your mother's potato soup.

2. You and her won't just run to the store together anymore.

With you living 2+ hours away it is very difficult to just run to Target real quick. No matter how bad you want to pick out a new outfit with her or grab a tub of ice cream, it'll have to wait for a holiday break.

3. You have to clean. By yourself.

Those crumbs of Goldfish crackers? The tooth paste in the sink? Yep, that's your responsibility now. Good luck.

4. You have to remember everything that you are supposed to do.

Homework due in 6 hours? Your clothes in the dryer? Turning in important paperwork? That's all up to you now. You're an "adult", whatever that is.

5. She is the best cheerleader.

Believe it or not, your friends don't really care that you got a B+ on that important project. They probably don't care that your room is totally clean either. Better call your mom up and tell her.

6. You're having a bad day.

You could really use her right now. You need a shoulder to cry on. Unfortunately, you'll have to opt for a friend or pillow instead. The good news is, your mama will always be there for you. Need her? Give her a call.

7. She's a great doctor.

You have come down with the worst cold. You're convinced that your fever would be down if you had your mom taking care of you. ( You're probably right. I guess that nasty medicine really does make you feel better.)

8. She makes you laugh.

She is one of the only people in the whole world that can honestly make you belly laugh by tickling you. You wish you could go back in time and let her tickle you more when you were younger. It would be great if she could just live at school with you, right?

9. She always has the juicy dirt.

Although you're not in high school anymore, you make it a point to tell your mom about any new information pertaining to how your old friends are doing. She's your best friend. Your go-to secret sharing pal.

10. She is the only one you get.

Love your mother, you'll never have another. You should cherish your mom every day as much as you can. You don't get another one after she is gone. If you're reading this, give your mom a little extra love today.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
