12 Reasons Why I Can Always Count On My Mom

personal photo

1. Her Love

Sometimes love can be a difficult thing. But no matter what, my mother will always love me no matter what! She loves me unconditionally. The best part is that I know how much she loves me all the time.

2. Her Advice

My mom is always there for me whenever I have a question. Even if it's the dumbest question ever. She helps me out when I have boy problems or school problems.

3. Her Patience

Let's just say that my mom has not had the easiest time raising me. Every teenage girl has her moment. Every 20 year old women has their moment as well. Through it all, she remains calm and patient. She waits for me to calm down and we work through it together.

4. Her Cooking

I personally am not the chef of my family. I never really learned how to cook growing up. I wasn't interested in it at all. It is so true that mothers make better grilled cheese than we do. Even though we use the same ingredients. It may just be a mother's love that makes it taste so delicious.

5. Her Shoulder To Cry On

Like I said, we all have our moments. Through every rise and fall, she's there. I've gone through a few rough patches and I cried out to her. She was always there to listen and talk with me.

6. Her Strength

I battled cancer and she held my hand through it all. She never let me give up on myself. I guess somehow she passed her strength onto me during that time.

7. Her Joy

Whenever I have a bad day my mom will find a way to make me happy. She will sing You Are My Sunshine loudly and terribly until I start laughing. Her smile can light up any room.

8. Her Friendliness

I am so lucky to have a "cool" mom. All my friends have a nickname for her. All my friends absolutely adore her! She knows how to be cool and NOT embarrassing and I appreciate her so much for that.

9. Her Love For Things I Love

I fell in love with One Direction back in 2012. I played their music to my mom. At first she didn't really care for their music. I kept talking about them and playing their music and she eventually fell in love with them too. I love that we have a special bond over them!

10. Her Way Of Raising Me

Everyone has always told me that I am very mature for my age. I believe that my mom plays a part in that. Growing up, she always answered my questions straight up. She didn't walk around the question and give me the child answer. She didn't "baby" me or make me feel any lesser than her. I deeply appreciate that.

11. Her Pushiness

Yes sometimes she can be annoying when she tries to force me to do something I don't want to do. She tried to make me join sports in high school and I never did it. Now she is trying to make me join a sorority even though I don't want to. I know that she wants what's best for me.

12. Her Mom Figure

Every single one of us has a mother. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for her. I'm so blessed that I got the mother I have. She is amazing in so many ways. Sometimes I feel like I don't appreciate her enough. I know that I can always count on her. Simply because she is my mom.

I hope that whoever reads this has mother that they absolutely love and adore. Tell them that you love and appreciate them because I'm sure they don't hear it enough.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3091

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
