20 Things You Forgot To Thank Your Mom For

David Wolfe

Mothers. They are the most wonderful person in this world. They have supported you since you can remember. They have sacrificed their happiness for yours and devoted just about every spare minute they had to keeping you happy. They are the only ones that can find anything you are missing in the blink of an eye. They love you unconditionally and always will. That being said, most of the time they do these things without a please or thank you. So because we don't thank them frequently enough (or at all), what better time to do so than on Mother's Day.

Mom...

1. Thank you for believing in me and my dreams when no one else did--including myself, sometimes.

2. Thank you for making me feel beautiful even when I didn't think I was.

3. Thank you for always protecting me and looking out for my best interest.

4. Thank you for being my biggest role-model, support and inspiration.

5. Thank you for your endless love, hugs and kisses.

6. Thank you for building a home with me in it.

7. Thank you for your honest advice and life hacks.

8. Thank you for letting me make mistakes.9. Thank you for teaching me how to learn from my mistakes.

10. Thank you for listening to me even when you didn't agree.

11. Thank you for cleaning up all my messes (even the ones that weren't just spills).

12. Thank you for waking me up for school every morning until I went to college.

13. Thank you for taking and picking me up from school, sports and play dates before I could drive (and even sometimes after that).

14. Thank you for washing my sheets so I could sleep in a clean bed and for washing my clothes so I wouldn't have to go a day without my favorite t-shirt.

15. Thank you for taking care of me every time I was sick because you were the only one that could make it better.

16. Thank you for the hours you spent on home-cooked meals and for keeping me fed.

17. Thank you for drying my tears even when they made you cry, too.

18. Thank you for holding my hand through the tough times and while crossing streets.

19. Thank you for letting me get away with things that dad wouldn't.

20. Thank you for being the best friend anyone could ask for.

This one's for you mom. Thank you for being the best mom anyone could ever ask for.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
