No matter how old you get, or how independent you think you are, you're always going to need mom. Growing up, I always thought I was somewhat independent. Once I left for college, I realized that was not exactly the case. After being in college for about a week I noticed how much I missed my mom and all the things she does for me. Moms deserve more than just a day celebration and here's why:

1. They take care of household chores. Mom's are always doing laundry or cleaning up the house. I mean really, how often do you take the garbage out?

2. Moms are the number one support system. Whether it is cheering you on when you're winning or being there to pick you up when you lose, moms know how to support your activities.

3. They stay home from work and make you soup when you're too sick to move out of bed.

4. Mom's are always right. I still have yet to figure this one out. It's like they will tell you to take a jacket even though it's 80 degrees and sunny, and somehow you will end up needing that jacket.

5. They make the best home-cooked meals. Not to mention the sweet chocolate chip cookies my mom could make.

6. They always keep you on top of stuff. Although it can be super annoying when they nag, I know my mom is always asking about school and keeping me involved in different clubs and such. It can be frustrating, but it is all out of love and good reason.

7. Unconditional love. No matter what stupid mistakes you make, your mom is always the first one there to give you a hug when you mess up.

Moms are the best simply because they will do anything and everything to make their kids happy. Mothers out there deserve to be appreciated more than just one day a year!
