An Open Letter to My Mother

For the Most Amazing Mother

Dear Mother,

I know we have had (and always will) have our ups and downs. From being a teenager trying to break free to becoming an adult that is in college, I have a lot to thank you for. When I was younger I was attached to you at the hip and did not want to leave you. Then when I was a teenager all I wanted to do was get away and be free. Now being an adult I can see why you did what you did and am completely grateful for all that you have done for me. Being an adult I'm also extremely sorry for how I acted as a teenager, I know it wasn't always fun and when I was younger I told you I wouldn't be a rotten teenager. I know I don't say it enough but I love you. You have mad sacrifices for me, whether they are big or small, they are beyond appreciated. With those sacrifices comes many things that I need to thank you for.

Thank you for giving me advice when I was crying my eyes out about some stupid topic that doesn't matter today. Thank you for always supporting me no matter what I do, and being there if it doesn't work out. Thank you for coming to my Kindergarden class when I didn't cry for you to come. Thank you for being honest, and blunt with me, sometimes its needed in life. Thank you for teaching me about Jesus and what amazing things He has done for us. Thank you for teaching me how to take care of babies and some speical techniques to help put them to sleep. Thank you for showing me how to be a good wife. Thank you for showing me how to love, and care for others. Thank you for being a great example of what God wants us to do as His disciples. Thank you for being the best mother a 21 year old girl could ask for. You are the best role model that I could have asked for. You are everything that I hope to become when I become a mother.

Some days we butt heads and other days we get along like best friends, but thats how it is. I know that you will always be here for me, and knowing that makes life not so scary. You have helped me see the world in different perspectives. I know I owe you more than a thank you for everything you have done for me, but for now all I can afford (being a poor college student) is a big, fat, juicy THANK YOUR FOR BEING THE BEST MOTHER IN THE HISTORY OF MOTHERS!

Sincerely,

Your Daughter

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"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!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

Sleepovers are not a thing. They're just not.

1. You only ask things once.

2. Seriously, you only ask once.

3. When you do muster up the courage to ask your parents for something, you creep around and wait until they’re in a good mood.

4. Before you get that final yes, you have to go through an interview.

5. If you ever got “the eye,” you knew you were screwed.

6. You were always the first to leave your group of friends when hanging out.

7. If you say you will be home at a certain time, you better be home at that time.

8. Seeing a missed call from your parents sends fear and horror through your veins.

9. If relatives are coming over to the house, your room better be clean.

10. You are careful about what jokes you share with your parents.

11. "You’re not an adult until you turn 18! You can do whatever you want then!"

12. If plans change while you’re out, you better text or call.

13. Don’t talk back. Ever.

14. When you’re called by your full name, you’re in deep trouble.

15. Don’t make them call your name twice.

16. Sleepovers are not a thing.

17. Despite all of these things, you know your parents love you.

For better or for worse

1. Pets

2. Mornings

3. Mistakes

4. Cooking for yourself

5. Hosting

6. Taking care of yourself

7. Holidays

8. Roommates

9. Keeping focused and getting stuff done

10. Cleaning

11. Social life

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

1. You’re tired of people asking you if you know what “RBF” stands for every time you zone out.

2. You’re constantly using the excuse, “I’m just tired” when people ask you if you’re mad.

3. Or “I’m just thinking.”

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”

Some of your best ideas come through boredom.

1. If the professor is late by one minute, I'm leaving.

2. Oh crap, that's due TODAY?!

3. Can I nap in here?

4. I wonder what they're serving at the cafeteria.

5. How much does my teacher even get paid?

6. How much will I get paid?

7. This is the longest 50 minutes of my life.

8. Maybe if I call mom, she'll give me money.

9. How much do street performers make anyway?

10. Why am I here? I could be a street performer by now.

11. Oh right, I'm not talented.
