Collegiettes, so as we all know friends come and go but best friends are forever. The older we get the more we begin to realize that there’s a certain someone that has always has had your back and loved you unconditionally.

This role model of a woman is truly your day one (legitimately) and will always be there for you, that lady is of course your mom. Here are some of the reasons why she’s obviously your best friend forever.

 

1. She’s the first person you call for everything.

Oh, and I do mean everything all the good news and all the bad and even the irrelevant conversations about what you had for lunch she has heard it all.

 

2. She knows you better than anyone else.

Even when you are being completely stubborn or upset beyond words she knows exactly what will cheer you up and make everything better.

 

3. She can spot fake people in your life before you can.

It never fails the moment you brought home a bad friend or boyfriend to meet her and she doesn’t like them. It’s a is a pretty huge indicator to stay away, because mama knows best and has honestly never been wrong.  

 

4.  She is always your #1 fan.

Regardless of how embarrassing she can be she will always be your loudest cheerleader and make sure that your confidence level stays in tip top shape.  

 

5.  You love hanging out with her.

Shopping and lunch? Yes please. She’s honestly the best company to have around and you both can have endless laughs the whole day.

 

6.  She gives you real advice and a reality check when necessary.

Sometimes you need a little push in order to not completely fall off the deep end and oh boy is she your gal to go to.

 

7.  She keeps all your secrets.

Seriously, this woman has the low down on absolutely everyone and everything and she would never pep a word to anyone about it.

 

8.  She gave you life and doesn’t let you forget that.

She brought you into this world and will gladly take you out. In all honesty though she’s so thankful for you and reminds you how much you mean to her.

 

9.  She reminds you how you are beautiful inside and out

She empowers you all the time and makes sure you realize you’re worth and that you know you are just as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside.

 

10.   She will always be there for you.

Through the good and the bad and even the ugly, your mom is always going to be right there for you and that is something that makes her especially special.

 

So Collegiettes, here’s to the woman that is the biggest blessing in our lives and is not recognized enough for how selfless and perfect she really is.

Thank you for putting up with all of our shenanigans throughout the years and for continuing to love us unconditionally. Love you mom!
