10 Signs You're the Mom of the Group
Morgan Sokolic

I'm not like most people...I don't drink. At all. Being at such a big party school, it can be so difficult at times because I don't drink and that seems to be the only thing to do for fun there. So instead of sitting home and binge watching whatever I can find on Netflix, I still go out and find ways to have fun. When I go out with my friends, I'm the one who always make sure that everybody gets home safe to their own beds, is tucked in, and has a slight bit of their mental ability left. Mother Morgan to the rescue I always say. Here's a list of things you know too well if you're like me and are the mom of the group.


1. You're always the designated driver


Alright kiddos, let me finish my water. Lets get you into your car seat and head home!


2. You spend more time together trying to get everyone together at the end of the night than you do actually going out, and it is not fun


Trying to rally everyone together is the worst part of the night. Don't forget someone!


3. There's always that one friend that you have to mentally prepare yourself about bringing home


We've all got that one friend who puts up the biggest fight about wanting to leave the bars...


4. When your friends party at your place you find yourself asking all the "Mom" questions


Believe me, this is asked quite often


5. You're there for everything. Carpool, holding the hair back, making sure they go home with the "right" boyfriend.


But do they ever make good choices....?


6. You always feel the need to tidy up when you have people come over


You can't have people in your house with that dirty pan in the sink...like come on.


7. You always have your phone on you and constantly check it to see if one of you "kids" texted or called you


But do they ever...no. Lol.


8. You're the first one to comfort the drunks


There there.


9. You have no shame in being the opposite of the "typical" college student


You don't care at all if you're nothing like everyone else you meet because you know that you're the reason they didn't sleep in a ditch last night.


10. Everyone always feels better after they talk to you


Your advice is always spot on, you're too good at what you do.

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.

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.

For better or for worse

"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!
