A New School Year At VCU

Here we are again, in the midst of a new year at college. Considering the past years have flown by I plan to make this one last a little longer. I want to make more memories, have unforgettable nights and maybe less nights that are a little fuzzy. I want to take more pictures, eat more pizza, and truly enjoy living with my best friends.

I am sure there will come some point this year where I am in the library stressing out. Possibly on the verge of a mental break down, maybe in the middle of one. Who knows honestly, its the element of surprise that really makes the stress genuine. I hope this year I wont actually write down in big letters, “SPRING BREAK” in February instead of March (Oh wait, I already did that). I wont lose the caps to my highlighters. I will remember to print things at least 24 hours before they are due and maybe, just maybe, I will always have a pencil for scantron exams.

I hope to make incredible memories with my best friends. We will save every snap chat story so we can relive our nights out. We will take pictures at the beginning of the night, when we all look nice. And yes boys, that includes you, you'll have to force a smile in more this year. We will try new restaurants and make new friends. We will go on adventures when we are suppose to be doing our homework and regret it later that night. We will have fun, this is the time of our lives and we will take it all in.

I am also going to work my ass off. Even if I don't want to believe it, I am sort of an adult. I'm going to work hard at my job every week so I can pay rent. Even though I'm broke as shit after the 1st of the month there is little pride in there in somewhere that I earn the right to live here. When I worked a double shift and my swollen feet are climbing three flights of stairs to get to my living room Ill be greeted by my roommates who have already ordered pizza and are ready to watch the Bachelor.

Maybe none of this will happen or maybe a miracle will occur and it will. Regardless, I know a perfect year isn't easy to achieve but I will be totally satisfied trying to make this best of this next year.

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
