15 Signs You're The Mom Of Your Friend Group

1. You always expect a text from your friends after a night out so you know they got home safely.

Someone's gotta make sure they didn't fall asleep at the bus stop with a half eaten chicken nugget and a water bottle full of anything but water.

2. A relationship doesn't mean anything until it has your seal of approval.

Sometimes love is very, very blind.

3. Your purse is a blackhole of everything anyone could ever possibly need.

From practical things, like chapstick and a pen, to the most random things, like a spoon and cold medicine, your purse is a grocery store, pharmacy, beauty salon, and office desk all in one. If your friend needs it, it is almost certainly in your purse. Hey, you never know when you might need a can opener.

4. You are constantly picking your friends up and giving them lectures about their poor life choices.

Just because their parents don't know about the stupid things they are doing, doesn't mean you don't and doesn't mean that they don't need some guidance.

5. On the flip side, you are also there to support them and congratulate them on all of their big accomplishments.

Even if that accomplishment was just getting out of bed for their 8 AM. We all know that deserves a lot of praise.

6. You are always there to listen to all of their problems, drama, and tragedies and help them work through them.

From big to small, you're there for them all.

7. You nag them all the time about how they are dressed.

It's cold out there, don't you know.

8. You don't care what your friends say, Food Network and HGTV are cool.

They'll thank you when you cook them a chef worthy meal or redecorate your dorm like it is straight out of a Better Homes and Gardens.

9. You always keep your room and their rooms clean, and still feel the need to clean before guests come over.

Never underestimate the power of a clean room.

10. You plan every minute of your day (and your life), and stick to a tight schedule.

You don't know how anyone else ever knows where to be without a schedule like yours.

11. You leave your friends cute notes.

A word or encouragement can go a long way.

12. You are constantly amazing your friends at the things you know how to do.

Stitch up a rip in clothing, make homemade ketchup, polish shoes.

13. Your friends come to you before their doctor for medical advice.

You're way under qualified, but you still are always answering the question "Can I take this with Tylenol?"

14. You go to bed much earlier than everyone else, and encourage them to do the same.

Even though they never listen.

15. And the most obvious sign of all, your friends CALL you mom.

Own it.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
