Every friend group has a "group mom," and chances are if you can't identify the group mom then it's you. Don't be sad though! Being the group mom isn't all bad. You always have the best snacks, you can get a stain out of anything, and when you actually go out and get crazy you get to shock everyone. So go ahead. Own it and be #momgoals.

1. You are always the first one in bed

I'm sorry you guys but sometimes you just have to put your sleep first. I can't be throwing of my circadian rhythms with your wild antics. In fact, I've been known to catch some zzz's at the occasional party.

2. Your friends always expect you to know directions, instructions, etc.

"Hey, how do we get to that restaurant that I like?" "Wait! I thought you were navigating!" These are just everyday occurrences in your life.

3. Your cooking and cleaning skills are on point

Someone stained the carpet with red wine? A little club soda will get that right out. Everyone is hungry and incapable of making pasta? I got it.

4. "Be safe" is basically your motto

You often end up treating your friends like your children, and you would never want anything to happen to them. Therefore you expect only responsible decisions and positive results from them.

5. If someone talks about your friends you can get passive-aggressive real fast

You may be the chillest one at the party but you can get Britney circa 2007 when someone starts talking poorly about your besties.

6. You regularly leave early to make it home in time for your shows

Sorry guys, I gotta get home, it's Bachelor Monday. God forbid I have to record it and watch it tomorrow.

7. You're the one yelling at your friends when they're making bad decisions

I mean someone has to look out for those idiots...

8. You're always prepared

Sunscreen? Bug spray? Floss? Don't worry. I got you.

9. You're always the hardest to crack when it comes to significant others

As the group mom you are responsible for being the toughest critic when it comes to significant others. People value your opinion because they know you would never lie to them.

10. You are #momgoals

Let's be honest. Throughout all of your most mom-ish tendencies you're the coolest mom on the block. So just remember that you are the definition of #momgoals.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
