World's Greatest Mom

To my Mom on Mother's Day

World's Greatest Mom
Sarah Lynch

Well, here comes another Mother's Day where I feel as if there is no gift in the world that would even come close to the copious amounts of things my Mom has done for me in the past year or past twenty-two years for that matter. Seriously, how could I give her a card and flowers and expect that to suffice for the endless fashion advice, dinners, and shopping sprees she has given me throughout my life. A mug that says "World's Best Mom" will simply not cut it.

I know everyone thinks that they have the best mom in the world, and to each their own, but really my Mom is the greatest. She is probably the coolest and not to mention she dresses way better than I ever could.

She has always given me the best advice. The best piece of advice she has ever given me was during a bad day when I was much younger. I had probably dropped my ice cream cone on the ground or missed the new episode of Arthur, but that is beside the point. While I am sure I was throwing a complete meltdown about this, she said, "if that is the worst thing that happened today, you're doing pretty good."

This piece of advice has stuck with me, through everything and I am so grateful for that because how great is that saying. GREAT. I know. Go, Mom.

You know what, moms are always right. They, low key, know everything. And if you don't believe this yet, trust me, one day you will. She always knew that middle school friendship was going to end badly, but she didn't gloat when it did and it turned out, she was right. As always.

My Mom is the most fashionable mom, maybe ever, not to be biased or anything. I am at the point in my life where I trust her to pick out my clothes more than I trust myself. She just knows what is in style. She cuffs her jeans, wears stylish booties, and rocks platform sandals. And, she is way more photogenic than me.

All of these things make my Mom the cliche mug saying, "World's Greatest Mom."

As Mother's Day quickly approaches, I am positive my Mom will be spending her time doing something selfless instead of basking in the fact that she is loved and is indeed the "World's Greatest Mom."

Regardless of any gift that I get her, my goal this Mother's Day is to make it known that I am so grateful for the things my Mom has done for me. She deserves to feel special for way more than one day because she has made me feel special for twenty-two years. My Mom has been my rock.

And to quote Justin Bieber, in his extremely underrated song, Turn To You (Mother's Day Dedication), "I still turn to you."

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
