To My Mom As I Leave For My Last Semester Of College
Emily Gauss

You've been there for kindergarten graduation, high school graduation, and soon college graduation. You're the only one who has never faulted in always being there for me. You never missed a large event in my 21 years of life. I can't wait to make you proud with the rest of my life and be able to support you like you have me for so many years.

I have officially started my very last semester of college, graduating a semester early (thank you campbell and ccc). The past 3 1/2 years away from the only constant person in my life has opened my eyes dramatically. Sure, we still argue; we're mother and daughter, it happens. But, in the end I know you will always be there for me.

Thank you for being there through all the heart breaks in middle school, high school, and even college. Thank you for not saying "I told you so" when you were right about the boys who caused said heart breaks. Thank you for always being just a phone call away when you weren't just a hallway away. Thank you for always listening to me. Thank you for always trying to give me advice, even if I didn't want to hear it. Thank you for taking me on endless shopping trips when I thought I didn't have enough clothes (even though I always did). Thank you for being the very best mom you could be. Thanks to you and your support, I will be able to move on in my life whether it be grad school or entering the real world.

As I start my last semester, I realize just how luck I am to have you as my mom. Not everyone has a mother or a good relationship with their mom. I was lucky enough to have a mom and have a best friend wrapped into one. I certainly wouldn't have been able to get through the last 3 years away from you without you to always talk to.

I want you to know how wonderful of a job you did all on your own. You're incredible inside and out. Even on your worst days, you're still the absolute best. Thanks for being you mom. I can't imagine my life without you. I love you to the moon and back times 10.

I love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my mother you'll be.

It's almost as if the professors all plot against you just to make college even more stressful than it already is. No matter how many people try to make you feel better, no one ever compares to your mom. Moms always know exactly what to say.
