There's no better feeling.

What Happens When Your Mom Is Your Best Friend

Mother's Day is a day to celebrate the maternal figures of the world and everything that they do for their children. Many people are close to their moms, but it is a rare and special scenario when someone can say that they are best friends with their mother. Fortunately for me, I am one of those people.


1. She is your biggest fan (and you're hers).

Your mom supports all of your decisions in life. After all, she just wants you to be happy. When all of your hard work pays off, she's the first one to congratulate you and you knew that she would be because she's been cheering you on the whole time. However, this isn't a one-way relationship. When you look at your mom and see everything that she juggles in her life, you're amazed by how she holds it all together so effortlessly.


2. She gives the best advice.

Your mom wants what's best for you. Whenever you have a problem, your mom is your go-to gal. She always knows just what to say to make you feel better and seems to have all of the answers to any problem that you throw at her.


3. Hanging out with her isn't a chore.

When you're not close with your mom, spending time with her can feel like another duty to check off your list. However, when your mom is your best friend, hanging out with her isn't something that you should do. It's something that you want to do.


4. You talk to her almost every day.

Whether it's in-person or over the phone, you find a way to talk to your mom every day. You tell each other everything, even those embarrassing or personal stories that most people hide from their parents. Your day doesn't feel complete until you speak with your mom at least once.


5. You always know how to make each other laugh.

Over the years, you and your mom have acquired plenty of inside jokes and you know each other well enough to know exactly how to get a chuckle out of one another. Even on your worst days, your mom can get you to laugh like nobody else can and it makes you so happy that you can do the same for her.


6. There's nobody else who you would rather be with.

No matter where you are or what you're doing, you wish that your mom could be there with you. Being with your mom gives you a sense of comfort that nothing else can. Her hugs, her voice, and her personality are all irreplaceable.

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.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
