Why My Mom Is The Best Friend I've Ever Had
Ashley McDonald

Mothers. There's not much not to love about them. They're there for you through your worst moments, and everything they do is laced with good intentions. Here are a few reminders why your mom really is the best.

1. She will always be honest with you.

Whether you're trying on prom dresses or asking her opinion on your new boyfriend, you can always count on your mom to be totally, brutally honest with you. It's out of love... I think.

2. She always has the best advice.


Boys, fashion, family, friends, school... She always knows just what to say, and when to say it. Even if you didn't ask.

3. You can raid her closet.


Whenever you're bored of your own clothes, you know you have a second closet just waiting for you to rummage through in the room next door. Win!

4. You can always count on her to make a big deal over anything that's bothering you.

You got the wrong order at a restaurant? Your shoes are uncomfortable? You're hungry? You're tired? You bet that your mom is going to take care of that in about .5 seconds.

5. She makes the best food.

Speaking of being hungry, there is nothing in this world like a home-cooked meal from your mom. Whether your mom can cook a whole Thanksgiving dinner or if she can only make cereal, when it comes from her, it's the best food ever.

6. If you hate someone, she automatically hates them even more.

She is the one person in your life who you can trash talk anyone to, and even if she doesn't know them, she will always agree with you. She's on your side, no questions asked.

7. She's the most selfless person you know.

Day or night, she is always a phone call away to soothe your worried mind or make you laugh. She would drop anything she's doing to help you in whatever way she can.

8. She really is your biggest fan.

When no one else wanted to drive six hours to take you to your cheer competition, or wake up at the crack of dawn and stand in the rain to watch you from the sidelines, she was there. She supports everything you do unconditionally.

9. There is nothing she can't fix.

She seems to know just what medicine to give you when you're sick, and just how to fix your outfit with only a safety pin. Even your worst days can be magically fixed with a hug and kiss from your mom.

10. She truly is your best friend.


She takes up a big space in your heart full of comfort and love that could NEVER be replaced. And at the end of the day, you know you want to be just like her when you grow up.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
