When You're Obsessed With Your Parents

Curls in ball and cries for Mom and Dad

For those fortunate few who have a freakishly great relationship with their parents, the obsession goes from slight to extreme real quick. Soon everything becomes about them and their happiness. As it should be:

1. You're home almost every weekend.

And it's weird when you're gone.

2. You crash their date nights.

And (most of the time) they're okay with it.

3. You take all their candids for Facebook.

Because they're more photogenic than you anyways.

4. You still ask them for permission to do things.

I know I can go, but do you want me to? I could just stay home.

5. Choosing a school came down to which one was closer to home.
10 minutes max. Driving distance is a major key.

6. A crazy night, is having too much wine over family dinner.

LOL Dad you're totally gunna regret those snap stories tomorrow.

7. You D.D. for them on weekends just to make sure they're safe

"Yeah, I'll be up past Midnight. Call me and I'll come get you."

8. You ask their opinion on everything.

Because their approval is necessary.

9. Shopping with them and for them is your favorite pastime.

"I know I'm broke but they would love this."

10. You know in your heart they're a lot cooler than you.

11. You call them more times a day then when you did when you were a kid.
"Hey Mom, just calling to see how your day is goin'. Wanna get lunch?"

12. You know you're the luckiest kid in the world.
And nothing can change that.

Shout out to you Mom and Dad, you rock my world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
