Spring Break looks so fun. The Spring Break I am referring to is the Spring Break image that pops into your head when you hear the two words: 1) Spring 2) Break. We all know the reputation it brings to the table.

We drank. We partied. We had the time of our lives.

Just like everyone else's, my Spring Break consisted of these three things, EXCEPT we broke the "Spring Break" walls.

We drank water. We partied with our moms. We still had the time of our lives.

Senior year of high school is notorious for wristbands in Mexico and parties on the beach, and while that may have topped everything under the sun for the typical high schooler, I was perfectly happy hanging low with eleven of my sweetest friends. Sure, our one beach house got crazy, but not that crazy.

We biked. We beached. We laughed.

The beach welcomed us with open waves (and lots of wind kisses). It was almost as cold as home, but you could not have paid us to stay inside. We certainly had our swimsuits on, but the blankets and towels would have said otherwise. The extra few dollars to heat the pool was absolutely life changing, let me tell you. If we weren't poolside, our feet were peddling away on the bikes we rode around. Of course, we did not come away from a gadget on two wheels without a few bumps and bruises.

We shopped. We ate (ice cream). We made memories.

Too much money. Too many calories. Too much fun (and way too much sun). We girls know how to party. And by party, I mean musical ambiance for our wild game of Catch Phrase with 45-year-old (being generous) high school girls, aka moms. We were fully aware that our stories didn't compare to the craziness that went down for our school friend's Spring Break memories, but we were fully content with the craziness that went down for ours. Good fun can be classified in many different ways for many different people. For me, this was my kind of party. I call it Spring Break — and no, it's not the Spring Break you're thinking of.

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.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
