Why Getting A Christmas Gift For Your Mom Is So Difficult

The most amazing woman in the world and all I can afford is a candle.

Mothers, what great human beings AM I RIGHT? It's the most wonderful time of the year, CHRISTMAS TIME. You search stores, you search online, you ask family members, but what do you get your beautiful mother for this beautiful holiday?

So, why is getting a Christmas gift for my mom so difficult?

My mom raised me, she spent endless nights with me until 3 am when I was too little to understand that she was sleep deprived and probably had dry puke on her shoulder (from me).

My mom put a roof over my head, she made sure I had everything I could ever need to be a healthy, happy child. She did everything in her power to make sure I was always safe and nothing was going to happen to me.

My mom went through life with me, what I mean by that is at the most difficult times my mom was right there to lean my head on, the person who wiped my tears and rubbed my back. She was also there for the great times in life, the times I was so happy and she was even happier. You know your mother loves you when your sadness is her sadness and your happiness is her happiness.

My mom is the most amazing, strong, beautiful woman I know. So, how can I possibly pick out a Christmas gift when this woman deserves the entire world but my bank account says I can only afford a candle? It's impossible to give this lady what she truly deserves. But I know this Christmas I will give her the unconditional love that she deserves, because there is no one more amazing than my mother, I am so thankful.


I love you, Mom. Thank you for everything.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
