In today's world, it is hard to not get wrapped up in having a work-life balance. The same goes for college students who have difficulty in devoting time to be a college student, having a social life and taking care of your health. Fortunately, we have people in our social groups who act as the "mom" to help you be responsibleand to take care of you. Here are some truths behind being the mom of the group in college...

1. You own a car that can hold a minimum of 8 people.

2. You have at least 2 first aid kits accessible at all times.

3.While most people can't even think about what it would be like to have kids, you feel like it's something you can handle.

4. You're not really up to date with what the kids are saying.

5. You are referred to you as “mom” or “mother” more often than your birth name.


6. Your closet is the go-to-closet your friends use when they run out of clothes.

7. You always volunteer to drive your friends to places, just to make sure they're safe.

8. You are the designated photographer and you are happy to get that angle and lighting.

9. You are really good at cooking food. Or at least no one will tell you any differently because no one wants to cook their own food.

10. You always carry a snack and water.

11. You make lists and the list never ends.

12. You can't say no.

13. You always ask people how they are doing and want a honest answer while trying to balance all of your emotions.

It's always good to have a mom of the group in college. Stay strong moms!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — 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.
