21 Things You Still Call Your Mom For, Even As A College Student

Alexandria Nalevanko

Let's just admit it, we all phone in our parents when we forget how to adult. And let's face it...moms always know what to do. Here's an ode to you, Mom, for always answering.

1. Hey I know I don't live with you anymore, but have you seen my leggings?

"Oh the navy blue ones? Yeah, they're in your bathroom."

Thanks, Mom!

2. You will NEVER believe what happened today...

Your mom knows all the drama. All you have to do is say your friend's name and she already knows what's up. Be ready to take her advice, somehow moms always know which friends won't last.

3. Does this shirt match with light wash jeans?

As long as you're wearing a coat, she doesn't care.

Is this considered a light or a dark?

What?! You just want to make sure.

5. Do you know where my birth certificate is?

6. Is it okay to use Windex on the kitchen table?

7. How long do you cook chicken for?

You'd rather have her cooking anyways.

8. Do I have any allergies I don't know about?

9. When did you know you wanted to have kids?

10. Remember when I was little and threw a tantrum in the Target parking lot?

Sorry about that.

11. I just watched "Brave" and I'm really sorry that I said I hated you in 6th grade.

12. Can you pick me up this weekend?

13. Can I microwave this?

14. I had a terrible day...

She'll hear all about how you didn't study and then failed the exam and not make you feel terrible about it.

15. Why did I wake up with this rash on my face?

16. Do we have a history of diabetes in our family?

Setting: At the doctor trying to fill out your own documents.

17. Why are groceries so expensive?!

Now you understand why she always made you put the cookies back in the grocery store.

18. What's the Netflix password again?

19. Can I live with you if my life turning upside down and I fail out of college?

20. How is everyone doing?

You really miss your family sometimes.

21. I miss you.

Love you, Mom, talk to you tomorrow.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
