20 Questions 20-Somethings Still Call Their Moms About
Emily Kerinuk

I moved out, got a credit card, invested, got my first job and learned how to cook (kind of), and yet, I still call my mom everyday (sometimes more than once) to ask her little questions. Some of them are broader like, "How do I adult?" and some are a little more specific like, "What temperature do I cook a potato on?" Even though I could probably find the answers to my questions with a quick Google search, I trust my mom's input way more. What kind of butter do I buy? Mom knows. How do I separate laundry? Mom knows that too. No matter how "adult" you are, sometimes you just have to call your mom because your mom knows best.

1. How much laundry detergent do I use?

2. What is the difference between self-rising and all-purpose flour?

3. Can you help me pack for my trip?

4. Which cleaning product do I use for the shower?

5. Do I really have to use a dryer sheet?

6. What kind of toilet paper do we use?

7. Are taxes a thing I have to do?

8. How long do I bake chicken?

9. My dog is breathing heavier than normal. Is he OK?

10. My car window won't roll up. It's probably fine, right?

11. What would happen if I skip class today?

12. What should I wear today?

13. Are these shoes too much?

14. Can you please transfer some money into my account?

15. How often should I water my plants?

16. Do you think this shirt is cute?

17. How does the food processor work?

18. How do I sew on a button?

19. Why does my refrigerator smell weird?

20. How did you do it?

You're my super hero!

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
