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.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
