13 Signs Your Best Friend Is Your Second Mom
Chris Cassidy

Most friend groups have that one person who's "the mom". I'm lucky enough to say that my best friend is my "mom" of my friend group. If you can relate to some of these signs, chances are your best friend is your second mom, too.

1. She makes sure you're fed

She always asks if you've eaten. She knows all your favorite and least favorite foods. This is one of the best signs because she's always ready to get what you want when yo guys hang out. Sometimes she'll even bring snacks.

2. She drives you around

Whether she's the better driver or not, she's probably taking you home or picking you up from whatever gathering you guys are at.

3. She feels responsible for your actions

The good and the bad. When you accomplish something she's so proud of you. If you mess up she feels the need to apologize to everyone for you.

4. She makes sure you get some sleep

Especially if you have plans for the next day, she won't stay up all night talking to you when you sleep over. She makes sure you get your sleep. If you come into school super tired she'll probably get mad at you for not going to bed earlier.

5. She makes you wear sunscreen

She always brings a bottle because she knows you're going to forget. She yells at you to put some on and she will yell at you when you undoubtedly get a sunburn either way.

6. She stops you from doing anything too stupid

Fun is fine. She's still a friend and not an actual mom. But if any sort of teenage adventure or shenanigans get out of hand, she's the first one to calm things down before things get too crazy.

7. She has an opinion on all of your friends

Especially the boys... and she's usually right.

8. She makes all plans

The rest of your friends and you will sit around wondering what to do but luckily you have your mom friend that's always ready to swoop in with some sort of fun plans for the day. If anyone else in the friend group comes up with something it probably won't work out and will end in your mom friend saying "this is why I make the plans."

9. She keeps you and your friends in line

You and your friends sometimes get loud together in public. Luckily you have your mom friend to hiss at you to settle down before you get kicked out of some nice place.

10. She keeps you motivated

She knows all your dreams, hopes, and goals and never lets you give up. She's always over-the-moon with pride when you succeed, too.

11. She constantly checks in on you

Whether or not she sees you every day, she always wants to know how your day was and if you ate enough and got enough sleep (see 1 and 4).

12. She makes sure your outfits are on point

She will never let you leave the house looking like a fool. She's also the first person you send a picture of your outfit to before you go out.

13. She loves you no matter what

Like a mother's unconditional love: no matte how many times you mess up and she has to cover for you, or if you do something stupid she told you not to: she will always love you and be there for you no matter what.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
