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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
