Every group has one.

In every group of friends there are a few roles that are always represented. There's the daredevil, the jokester, and of course, the mom. Here's the top 10 ways you can definitely tell if you are the mom of the group.

1. You always seem to be the snack provider.

Whether you're going out for a day at the beach or going hiking your bag is always stocked. Water, crackers, gummies, you name it and mom's got it.

2. You know everyone's middle name.

Typically these come in handy when everyone has lost their minds and it feels like you're trying to round up toddlers, not college kids.

3. That really annoying arm thing you do when driving.

I am personally guilty of doing this. Any time a quick stop is made you stick your arm out across your passenger to prevent them from going through the windshield. Does it work? Who knows, but it's your mom-stinct to do it.

4. Always having your shoulder prepared for tears.

No matter what or who it's about, if one of your friends needs a good cry you're always there with ice cream and movies in hand. What kind of mom isn't prepared for the bad times just as well as the good?

5. The one who always says "BE CAREFUL DAMMIT!"

Of course you like to have fun, but someone swinging from the ceiling fan is NOT alright. Do they ever listen? No. But it makes you feel better that you tried.

6. Your friends understand that coming to you means getting the honest, unbiased truth.

Yeah, sometimes that truth stings. However, in the end they know that they are getting the most heartfelt advice you know how to give. You're a long way from perfect, but in those moments you try your best to give some true tumblr quotes.

7. You always know everyone's schedule better than they do.

"Did you go to your meeting this morning?"

"Wait, don't you have a Lit midterm on Thursday that you clearly haven't studied for?"

"You should really stop waking up for you 8 AM at noon."

8. You can switch out hunch punch to regular punch like an expert.

Sometimes parties get wild. And sometimes your friends go a little overboard. It's your job to make sure that when they ask for another, they're secretly getting sobered up. No one likes for someone to get sick in the mom van.

9. You cheer on all of your friends at their individual hobbies.

You're there for every basketball, baseball, or hockey game. And don't forget the dance recitals, swim meets, or the Spring Theater production.

10. And if someone messes with any of your babies, it means war.

This goes for all of your friends, new or old. If one person is upset, the whole group is. Best be careful, everyone is coming for you and momma bear is leading the charge.

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.
