It's a familiar feeling: you're supposed to be studying for your exam tomorrow, but there are a million thoughts going through your brain, most of which have absolutely nothing to do with the material you're being tested on. While I couldn't possibly write down each of these million, I figured I would list the top 13 that cross my mind the second I crack open my textbook. I'm sure you can all relate.

  1. How am I having a midterm five weeks into the semester? Isn’t the semester 15 weeks? I’m no genius, but I’m pretty sure half of 15 is not 5.
  2. So when are we playing review jeopardy? What do you mean there’s no review jeopardy!?
  3. This can't actually count for 50% of my grade. Are you sure it wasn’t 25? Maybe 15?
  4. I’ll just take a 5- minute break to scroll through Instagram.
  5. How did I wind up on Facebook watching a video on how to make spinach and artichoke mac and cheese?
  6. Didn’t the professor say that she would drop my lowest exam grade?
  7. I wonder if they’ll put 3 turbo shots in my iced coffee.
  8. Why have I read this page 4 times and processed none of it?
  9. How is it already 3 A.M.?
  10. Maybe I’ll clean my room before I start studying. It’s not procrastinating if you’re being productive, right?
  11. I really should’ve stayed in Saturday night.
  12. Do you think 4 alarms will be enough for my 8 A.M. exam? Maybe I should set 2 more, just to be safe.
  13. I can’t believe I’m missing "Grey’s" for this.

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.

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.

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.

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!
