To My Mom, This Mother's Day

Everything I am, You helped me to be.

Mom,

I want to start off by saying that this day is all about you. It is a day to celebrate you and all that you have done for this family. All that you have done for me. I'm sitting here trying to find the words to describe you, but its nearly impossible because a million things come to my mind. You taught me so much of everything I know. You showed me the way and lead me on the path to becoming the person I am today. You taught me to always stay humble and kind. You taught me that it's okay to be sensitive, but also to not worry so much about what others think of me. You showed me how to be a good person, because after all, you are the greatest person there is. Everyone who knows you is touched by your friendliness and incredible heart. I grew up wanting to be you and hoping that one day I would be become half the woman you are. I saw from an early age that your beauty was not only external, but internal as well. You've always been able to call me out when I needed it in order to become a better and stronger person. You know what I need before I even do. I know that no matter what time of the day it is, that you are only one call away. Within you, Mom, I have found not only a Mom but a friend, and a role model. You got me through the hard times, you supported me in the good times, and you never failed to assure me that I can do anything I put my mind to. I'd like to think God made me your daughter for a reason, because he knew you were exactly what I needed. You raised me and my siblings in the best way possible, with love. Mom, you guided me to my faith showing me that above all, God has a plan. I could not imagine a life where I wouldn't have you next to me every step of the way. In a world, where not everyone is lucky enough to be blessed with a Mother, I thank my lucky stars everyday that you are the woman who raised me. I am sorry if there has ever been a moment where you've thought you haven't done your job. Every good quality I possess, I've gained through your wisdom and by walking your footsteps. There is a quote I found online that I believe describes us perfectly, "Always together, Never apart, Maybe in distance, But never at heart." Even though I am not living right down the hall from you anymore, you're always with me. Every pivotal moment of my life, whether you are there physically or not, you are there with me. No matter how far apart we will be, I know you are always there to hold my hand and touch my heart. Mom, I am nothing without you, you are my whole world. Thank you for teaching me how to live a life through Christ and a life full of love and strength. I love you, Happy Mother's Day.

With Love,

Your daughter

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.

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.
