10 Things I Want To Thank My Mother For
All Express

We take our mothers for granted, let me do our laundry, cook our dinner, and even clean our rooms. However, like most people, I often forget to thank my mother for all that she does for me. Even the little things.

1. Thank you for giving me life.

So many people forget that without their mothers, they would not have a life. We take that for granted more than we should.

2. Thank you for my little sister.

We fight and argue, but I do not know what I would do without the little brat. She is the best gift my mother could have ever given me.

3. Thank you for always being there.

There is not a moment in my life when I have needed her, that she has not been right there for me. Always.

4. Thank you for disciplining me.

i was not a bad child but I was disciplined when it was necessary, because of that, I have grown into a respectful adult.

5. Thank you for always pushing me to do better.

She knew when I was fooling around at school, or in life, and always made me do better. For that, I am grateful. Without that extra push, who knows where I would be.

6. Thank you for always being proud of me.

Even when I was not performing to the best of my ability, academically, my mama always told me how proud she was of me. Having a parent who is proud, made me strive to do that much better.

7. Thank you for saying "I told you so," when he broke my heart. Again.

No one wants to hear "i told you so," but it is true. She told me over and over that he was no good. Time after time I went back, and he kept proving her right. Mothers know best, y'all.

8. Thank you for loving me.

Just because your mother gave birth to you, does not mean that she absolutely has to love you, as terrible as that sounds. I am forever thankful for the unconditional love that my mother has shown me.

9. Thank you for always having faith in me.

She has always had faith in me, even when she probably should not have. Somehow my mama always knew that I would make the right decision in the long run.

10. Thank you for being my mama.

More than anything, thank you, God, for blessing me with the most wonderful mother a girl could ask for. We fight like sisters, but in all reality, my mama is the best friend I have ever had and I have no idea where I would be without her by my side.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
