Mom Friend: That one friend in your squad that's super responsible and almost over-protective of them. Usually every friend group has a mom friend, and if you think your squad doesn't have one, then you're probably the Mom Friend! (via Urban Dictionary)

Welp, they nailed it. It's pretty self explanatory and it's also true-- if you don't think your group of friends has a mom friend, it's most likely you. But just in case you weren't sure, by the end of this article you'll be able to decide who it is, even if it's you.

1. You tell them to text you when they get to their destination safely.

It doesn't matter if they're your neighbor, or if they live 15 minutes away-- they'll be in trouble if they don't text you.


2. "Soooo, how was it?" or "Sooooo, how'd it go?"

No matter what the situation, that's always your first question.

3. You suggest doing homework over anything else.

Friend: Should I do homework or watch netflix?
You: Homework


4. You find yourself watching the Food Network, HGTV, Jeopardy, The Price Is Right, etc.

Sometimes while I'm waiting for my show to start, I find myself participating in the Price Is Right, through the television. I can also watch marathons of Fixer Upper like no one else can.

5. You've spent too much time trying to herd your drunk friends and get them into bed.

This could possibly be one of the hardest endeavors to accomplish.

6. You've gotten the response "Okay, mom"

After advising them to do something they don't want to do (or not to do something they want to do) you get the "Okay, mom" partnered with the ever so lovely eye roll.

7. You carry Advil, Tylenol, Aspirin, Cold medicine, and band aids in your purse.

you can never be prepared, and what if there's an emergency.. right??

8. Your friends come to you when they need assurance.

This is one of the best parts about being the mom friend. They come to you when they need to hear that everything is going to work out.


9. You're always prepared.

This goes along with the advil in your purse, but you're prepared for everything. You have an umbrella in your car, you bring a map on a hike, you bring extra's in case you run out, etc.

10. You cringe when your friend is doing something that could result in an injury.

You have 911 on speed dial just in case your friend gets hurt.


11. If your friends happen to see this article, you'll probably be tagged.

It's a compliment, really.

12. You always carry emergency money.

This is a good habit for everyone to get into actually...carry $20 on you in case you need gas, water, something. You never know when you need it.

13. You're always telling your friends to "Be safe" or "Call me if you need anything"

You can't help it.

If after reading this you had an epiphany that you're the mom friend.. congratulations, welcome to the club!


Oh, and don't forget to show the mom friend of your friend group some love, tag them!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
