Moms: the only reason voicemail still exists.

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.


1. Leaves you voice mails.

mom voicemail

Then they will text you to tell you they left you a voicemail.

2. When you answer, the phone says, "Hey it's Mom!", even though you have caller ID.

3. Tells you things about your friends she found out on Facebook.

"Did you know Gretta is engaged!?"

4. Fast-forwards through sex scenes.

This is the most awkward thing any human will have to experience.

5. Asks you what really provocative song lyrics mean.

"What does she mean, she loves herself?" "I don't know mom!"

6. Comments on everything you post online.

Do you just snoop on my profile all day?

7. Asks you if you are seeing anyone.

Nothing will make you feel more single then having to tell your mother you're single.

8. Tells you what she had for dinner when you aren't home.

9. Asks you the same question over and over.

That I've answered a thousand times already.

10. Tells you you need a haircut.

My hair is fine!

11. Tells you you need to start eating more.

"You look so skinny! Have you been eating?"

12. Snoops on your life.

13. Wakes you up in the morning in that annoying calm voice.

A million times.

14. Tells you she's proud of you about everything.

"You are so talented."

15. Uses lingo in the dorkiest way.

That's on fleek!

16. Asks you to vote for her favorite contestants on 'American Idol,' 'Dancing with the Stars,' or 'The Voice.'

My mom likes Kat on The Voice more than me.

17. Makes a ridiculous amount of snacks when your friends come over.

Moms make the greatest hostesses.

18. Loves you unconditionally.

No matter what, your mom is always there for you. She's your shoulder to cry on and the only person you want to talk to when you need to calm down.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.
