I don't even know where to begin with this or even how to address you, honestly.

Hi,

Yeah, that works. I guess I'll go with hi. While I'm sitting here writing this I kind of wish I could've filmed it instead, like a little video,I feel that would be more fun to watch and you'd get a better feel for my wonderful sense of humor that's trying to come through. But, unfortunately for you guys I don't make videos, so you get this instead. Right now it feels weird to be thinking about my future kids because I'm still a kid, but this article is due in a couple hours and this is the first idea that came into my mind so we're just going to roll with it. I'm really struggling to think of things to talk about in this because imagining myself as a mom is such a weird feeling.

First off, I guess I just want to ask how you're doing? Is that a weird question to ask, I'm not sure. I hope future-more-mature me knows how to take care of another human because right now I don't think I'm even capable of taking care of a goldfish. I also really hope you don't hate me, that wouldn't be cool considering the fact you're stuck with me for the rest of your life. Growing up my mom always told me "I brought you into this world and I'll take you right out." And you betcha I'm going to use that line on you, so behave I don't want gray hair.

I also want you to know that you can come to me for stuff, you know considering I was once a kid. I have stories, probably ones you won't ever hear. When these stories are in the making something along the lines of "I can't wait to tell my grandchildren this" is usually said, which is why you can't hear the stories and have to wait another twenty years to hear them. The point of this was to let you know that I once too experienced life and probably know how to help you through whatever it is you're going through.

I also think now is an appropriate time to apologize, but not really. This is kind of my sorry, not sorry to you. If you haven't noticed yet I'm definitely that mom who gets way too into watching sporting events and might even yell at a referee or two. I know that you're just elementary/middle school aged kids playing sports and "winning isn't everything" but momma didn't raise no benchwarmer. Momma also didn't raise no quitter, which means you basically have to end up playing professionally or go to the Olympics, there are no other options.

Now I'm starting wonder how you even found this? Did I show it to you? Are my Odyssey articles still online anymore? Is the internet still relevant? If I didn't show it to you then what else of mine have found? Please tell me you found my Twitter or my Instagram, ya girl works hard to keep that theme looking nice. Actually just kidding, my Instagram doesn't have a theme.

Just a heads up for you, if you ever want a dog and I refuse to buy you one, show me that you found this article and I owe you a dog. I love dogs, kids love dogs, everyone loves dogs. Trust me, the family won't be complete until you get that dog.

Xoxo,

Gossip Girl

Just kidding, just kidding,

Mom (that is so weird to type out.)

But really, please tell me that you've seen Gossip Girl or I may have to temporarily disown you.

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.

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!
