I'm one of those people who wants to look good and to be known for looking good. For example, one of my good friends, Jenna. Jenna has the quirkiest style, she has a corny and somewhat nostalgic style with a touch of boho.

Makes no sense, I know. But it works.

Everyone loves it and she doesn't even have to try anymore, it's an established style.

I'm envious.

Then there's me, with the ever-evolving style depending on my income.

1. Emo - Middle School 6th grade

This was actually disgusting, not only was I poor (So I couldn't establish the style with my clothing), but I couldn't apply eyeliner. It was actually horrendous. Someone should've called the police. It was a hard time for me.

Luckily this was short-lived and I gave up.

Thank God.

2. Quirky - Middle School 6th-9th grade

It was atrocious but a lot better than the emo style. Crazy fluorescent socks and T-shirts that go along the lines of, "Rawr means I love you in dinosaur". Or my favorite, the ketchup and mustard bottle saying, "What's up dog?" to a hot dog- I lost that so long ago.

3. I tried to establish skirts and dresses as my own style - High school 9th-11th

This one has kind of meshed with my "style" now. Except for skirts, those fly up too much. The quirky style was embedded in there too, it was sort of a mess.

4) Florals and premature bohemian - High school 11th-12th

This was around the time my mother stopped buying my clothes and I began to have a sense of my own style. The bright colors have been thrown away from my wardrobe and become warmer or darker. A lot of floral textiles and a lot of tunics.

5. Vintage bohemian with textiles. Freshman year- to current.

This one is more diverse. I pretty much wear the same color scheme now: beige, brown, black and softer colors. Birkenstocks, oxfords, baggy pants. Crop tops and cardigans. Sometimes minimal clothing, it's a more body positive style.

6. Overalls! - Current

I've taken an appreciation for overalls. I own only three, two skirts and one pant. But they're widely accepted by my "style." The overalls collection is continuously growing.

I'll give this stage in fashion another four years, let's see if it develops into something unique.

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.

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.

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!
