Mermaids are one of my favorite mythical creatures along with unicorns and fairies and dragons. Who wouldn't want to be one? They have so many qualities they have that would be so much better than just my human abilities!

1. They have really long hair!

All mermaids have super long hair! Granted, I could too, but they always have the perfect length. Plus, they have great hairstyles to go along with it.

2. They can breathe underwater.

How many times have you tried to hold your breath underwater and only lasted about 30 seconds to a minute tops? Imagine if you didn't have to hold your breath anymore!

3. They don't need to shave their legs.

As women, we all have those days when we could care less about having smooth legs. Well, as mermaids, we wouldn't have to worry about it at all, because we would have a tail!

4. Traveling is so much easier for mermaids.

According to various movies, mermaids can swim pretty fast. S,o if I wanted to go across the country or to another part of the world, I could just swim there. Plus, no need to spend money.

5. They can live in the ocean.

One of the most amazing places in the world is the ocean! In addition to the beach and the waves, there are tons of animals and fish that make the ocean a heavily desired place for me. Being able to live there and constantly explore and be a part of a hidden world would be amazing.

6. Mermaids have incredible singing abilities.

One thing mermaids are widely known for are their voices. Whether it's to lure a fisherman in or just singing during their downtime, they have beautiful voices and songs that make anyone's heart melt! I have always loved to sing.

7. They don't need to waste time deciding what to wear!

I spend countless hours trying to figure out what to wear. Sometimes I even try on five different outfits before I decide to go with the first one I had on. I would love not having to decide on clothes every day!

8. They have no worries.

Who needs to worry when you're swimming around in the ocean all day?

9. They can indulge in unlimited sunbathing

I love when I can feel the sun beating down on me and I have gorgeous tan skin! As a mermaid, that would be my only job!

10. Mermaids don't need to work for a living or worry about money.

This might just be the best benefit of them all -- not needing money to survive and not having to have a job to get money to survive!

With all this cold weather approaching, I wish I was a mermaid more than ever! Besides, all of these are great benefits. Don't you wish you were a mythical ocean creature?

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.

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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
