6 Signs That You Are The Mama Bear Of Your Friend Group
Wikia

Every friend group has a "mom" of the friend group. Here are some sure fire signs that you, or another member of your squad is the mama bear.

1. Has at least minimal first aid supplies on hand at all times

I.E. band-aids, ibuprofen, benadryl, tissues, sunscreen, and if she has experience, you may even have a small hospital in that small MK clutch.

2. Has given out unsolicited advice on multiple occasions

This is more than one of those chats that you have when you are hungover at noon on a Sunday, this is a chat that you can have at 2pm at Starbucks on a Wednesday. This normally entails a chat about how to make sure that you are getting the most out of your life, and following your dreams rather than telling you to go out with the cute Barista at your favorite coffee shop.

3. Takes care of you when you are sick

Friends that bring you soup and or gatorade when you are sick are the best, and especially when they chill out and watch the ridiculously cheesy rom-coms, and not worried about the germs that are soon to be infesting them as well.

4. You always DD

You will always have a ride home, because mama bear takes care of her cubs

5. Keeps a schedule of events

Mom always has to keep everyone's schedules in order so that no one misses anything, and they can plan activities around everyone else's schedules. A quick trip to the mall involves looking at 5 different calendars all at the same time, and planning an exact start and end time to make it work for everyone so no one is left out

6. Breaking up fights

This is a big one, girls tend to bicker, and get upset and mom always has to make sure that at the end of the day they hug it out and no one leaves upset.

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
