Why It's Better To Be Bad Moms

This summer was jam-packed with must-see movies full of romance, adventure, and, of course, humor. One comedy in particular hit the theaters in late July, but still managed to qualify as a must-see of the summer.

"Bad Moms" brought down the house with its hilarity, not to mention its cast of A-list actors, such as Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn. Their ability to be "real," while cracking jokes will cause you to spill your popcorn from bursting into fits of laughter. The plot of the film is simple: After struggling and failing to reach perfection at work, at home, and in life, three hard-working women resolve to let go of everything keeping them from being "good" moms, and, instead, embrace the "bad." They leave their hubbies at home with the kids and realize its okay to have a girls' night (or three) every once in a while. After getting "chocolate wasted" in their local grocery store, Amy and her gal pals hit the bar, where she must re-learn how to speak to potential suitors in anything other than mommy lingo. To top it all off, Amy decides to do the unthinkable — run against Gwendolyn, the wicked witch of the PTA, for the all-powerful position of president. As you can probably guess, Amy and her posse of bad*ss moms win over the crowd of overworked, under-appreciated parents, when they finally convince them it is impossible and inevitable to avoid imperfections. It's easier to accept the fact that mistakes will be made, but lessons will be learned along the way.

This film is nonstop comedy, and not the stupid funny kind of comedy, but the actually funny kind of comedy, where you kinda can't believe they just said that out loud, but you kinda really love it because it's exactly what you were thinking. This being said the box-office hit is not lacking in life lessons. Whether you're a stay at home mom, a single mom, or just not a typical mom, no one can be a perfect mom, or, by any means, a perfect parent, and even though you can't always do everything right, odds are, your kids will still turn out alright.

So, moms, drop everything right now and head out to see this movie! (Except, you can't really drop everything right now, because, you know, kids.) If you can book a babysitter, leave the kiddos at home (while this film is totally mommy-friendly, it's definitely not kid-friendly), grab your mom squad and all the 99 cent junk food snacks you have, and enjoy 1 hour and 41 minutes of pure, raw, real entertainment. You might even make it back in time to tuck the little ones into bed. Or, you know, get chocolate wasted at Walmart.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
