There's always that one friend in the group that's the glue that holds everyone together. Literally. They're the ones that are making sure everyone is safe and taken care of, and put together - and pulling them back together when they're not. When you are that friend, it comes with it's fair share of struggles.


1. People have higher expectations for you




2. Everyone depends on you all the time



3. Everyone expects you to always have the answers




4. It’s really hard to tell your friends "no", and even harder for them to accept it


5. Everyone always asks to borrow things


6. You’re always feeding everyone and cleaning up after them




7. You’re the shoulder to cry on




8. With your friends you have to be prepared for literally anything when leave your house




9. You’re expected to be the D.D. whenever necessary




10. You have to stay a little more together when drinking




11. You’re the one that takes control in emergency situations



12. You’re constantly apologizing for your friend’s behavior


13. Which means, you’ve learned to be really good at talking you and your friends out of sticky situations



14. You're always the one taking care of people that are tooooo drunk



15. You can’t not give a shit




16. Sometimes you’re envious of your friend’s carefree attitudes



17. You hate feeling like the mom friend – but you sooo are




18. Sometimes you just want to like chill and not have it all together, but then you take it too far



19. Which leads to: No one knows how to handle you when you lose your shit





But that's okay, because you can always handle your own shit, right?

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.

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.
