Five Reasons My Mom is My Best Friend

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utica chapter.

1. She knows when I’m not myself

We have seen each other at our worst and our best.  From the tone of my voice or the way my face may seem, she always knows when something isn’t right. I can never try to sneak an emotion by her, and for that, I love her.  

2. She’s my biggest fan

Everything I do I know I will always have at least one fan, my mom.  From my makeup that day to my first job, I will always have the only support system I will ever need.  

3. It’s like having a sister when your an only child

Growing up I never had a sister, but my mom is the closest thing to that.  From early morning fights about wearing her shirt to late night talks about life. I especially love our talks about makeup and when we do each others makeup. I don’t want  to share this bond with anyone else.

4. She’s my role model

Role model is an understatement. The success my mom has gained is strictly from her hard work and the constant fire that burns from her soul.  The passion and care that she puts into every little thing she does makes me thrive to be half the woman she is.  

5. She’s there when no one else is

When no one is there to fall back on, I’ll always have my mom.  The person that never let me go to bed upset, and the person who always knows how to cheer me up, I am so incredibly grateful for you.  I have not had a lot of steady friends, but I know I can always count on her.

Mom, you are my inspiration in life and you always have been.  I have seen you at your worst and at your absolute best.  You have shown me what it takes to be a strong and independent woman and what I need to succeed in life. You are always my shoulder to cry on, or my call to someone so I can just vent.  You have pushed me every day of my life to be a better person and to always be the best I could be.  You have shown me how to grow as a person and to strive for greatness, and I take this all with me as I grow.  I always cared about what people thought of me, and it’s something I never liked, but I admire the way you hold your head high and never let the fear of others get to you. You’ve always been my best friend, and always will continue to be that.  I love you and forever cherish our bond!

 

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
