5 Signs You're The Mom Of Your Friend Group
Sarah Purnell

Ah yes, our friend group, whether they be our college friends, high school friends, or any other friends we've met along the way, there is an inseparable bond between these humans. We love each other dearly, but the roles we play within these groups are obvious and maybe the most obvious one being the role of mom. Not sure if you fit into this character of the mom? Here are just five signs you are the mom of your friend group...

1. You're always making sure no one is left behind.

Any time you leave the house, you look around to make sure you have everyone that needs to be there, that they have everything they might need along the journey, and that everything is all set. You're usually the most organized out of the group and are reminding everyone to grab that one thing that they would have been doomed without had it been left behind. This especially applies when you go out to the bars with your friends, you constantly feel as though you are herding sheep and making sure you all stay together.

2. You're the person everyone seeks to for everything.

Moms give the best advice and since you are designated mom of your friend group, everyone turns to you in their time of need. Through your wisdom and insightful reasoning, you are always there to support a friend in time of crisis and make sure it is all going to be alright. They call you when something goes wrong, when they need a ride, or just wanna say 'hi'. You even give them mom hugs, too.

3. You can always find everything.

What is it about moms that gives them that power to be able to find anything? Well, either way, you go it! Whenever a friend is panicking over not being able to find their favorite tie-dye shirt, you're instantly able to locate it and make their day a whole lot better. By staying calm and retracing your steps, or thinking back to the last time you saw an item, you're always there to save the day.

4. You're constantly feeding your friends.

Like a mom, you find yourself making your friends dinners, snacks, or muffins in the mornings. You love to make sure your friends are well-taken care of and to top it off, you send them home with left overs.

5. You're their number 1 fan.

Being the friend you are, you are always pushing your friends to improve in their lives, reach their goals, and are the first one by their sides when they do it. Whether it be attending all their sporting events, art shoes, giving them rides to wherever they need, they know you would do anything to see them succeed.


And most importantly, you love each and everyone of your friends with all your heart.

You wouldn't change you're momness for the world.

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?
