1. She is your go-to gal for literally anything.
And I mean anything. She is only a phone call away for a reason. She will be the one person there for you for the rest of your life that will listen to you and actually feel and understand what you are going through. You can call her on your worst day and she will give you the greatest advice and make you feel better in a second. Even a call for the silliest thing will be greatly appreciated.
2. She is your rock.
No one could’ve raised you better than her. Having to see her every day after high school was probably a pain sometimes, especially when she bombarded you with questions about where you were going that weekend and who you were with, but let’s face it. You enjoyed seeing her face every day. Finally seeing her face after weeks apart is one of the best things to come home to.
3. Her home cooked meals.
There is honestly nothing like your mom’s cooking. Being at college, healthy eating is extremely difficult and having to eat at dining halls will definitely help you gain the freshman 15 (which is totally a real thing). The holidays are always most exciting because you can look forward to going home and eating real food, and a lot of it!
4. She pushes you to do your best.
After getting an exam back that you thought you did well on, she’s on the other end of the phone still telling you how great you are and how one grade doesn’t affect your worth. She knows everything you are a capable of and how great you actually are, no matter what the grade is.
