We've all been there, just relaxing without a care in the world. There's a blissful sense of freedom to watch Netflix or read a book you've had on your shelf for months. It's all so beautiful to be commitment free and it happens. You realize you messed up some dates in your planner or just forgot that you even owned a planner. No matter how it happens, now you're stuck not knowing where the time went you're flying around trying to get every piece of homework you had neglected done before the due date!

1. It's a weekday evening, you're laying on the couch just snacking and surfing through Netflix when it happens: the sinking feeling that you've got something due.

2. You fly off the couch with mutant like speed to find your syllabus and see it in sickening black ink. In the next 48 hours, you have three papers, two exams and a group project due.

3. You start to curse your professor because HOW DARE THEY ASSIGN SO MUCH WORK?

Don't they know you have other classes and a social life? (Never mind the fact this was assigned a month ago).

4. Then, you set off to do what took others a month in one night.

Prepare the coffee and the tears!

5. Halfway through you're about ready to give up, drop out, and become a stripper.

Who needs a college degree?

6. You decide that you've done so much fantastic (subpar) work that you deserve a break.

7. Finally, as the sun rises your perfect example of procrastination is complete and ready to turn in.

You feel deliriously sleepy and insanely proud of yourself.

8. You promise yourself that you'll keep a better to do list and check your syllabus regularly.

You never want to have to pull an all-nighter like that again.

9. But then...that sinking feeling...again.

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.

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!
