11 Things You Do When You Are The “Mother” To Your Friends

Some people never want to grow up, while others have had maternal instincts peeking through for years. It’s time to admit it: you’re the mother figure to all of your friends, and here are 11 things you do to prove it.

1. When they are upset, it makes you upset. You hate to see them sad and you try to do anything you can to make them feel better.

2. When you go out, you don’t drink as much as they do because you know they are going to need someone to take care of them later.

3. You love making breakfast/dinner for them on a normal basis while you ask them about their classes that day.

4. You carry first aid supplies in your purse- Bandages, Tylenol, tissues, and anything else that you think your friends could possibly need at any given moment.

5. You carry extra tampons- Even if your friends don’t look at you as a mother figure, this is just a good habit to get into. You never know when your friend may have an emergency and you’ll be there to have her back!

6. You take care of them when they are sick without even worrying that whatever they have may be severely contagious.

7. You won’t drive your friends around unless they are wearing their seat belts. Safety first!

8. Even after you finally convince them to buckle up, you still throw your arm out in front of whoever is in your passenger seat if you hit the brakes too hard. It’s something your mom has always done, and you just do it out of maternal habit.

9. Someone says “thanks mom” or “okay mom” to you at least twice a day, and it doesn’t bother you one bit.

10. Your friends tease you for how much you LOVE grocery shopping. Everything about it. Right down to sharing recipes with the nice older lady in front of you in the check out line.

11. If they ever needed anything, you would be the first person they would call because your friends know you’ve got their backs almost as much as their real moms do.

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.
