6 Ways You Know You Are Turning Into Your Mom
Nikki Klatka

As I get older, I’m beginning to hear the statement “you’re just like your mother” more and more. And while I have fought hard to ignore this statement for my 20 years of existence and stubbornly focus on the fact that I am my own person, I’m also starting to realize that it truly is inevitable that we all become very similar, or at least somewhat, to what our moms are like. Think about it! We spend way too much time around them to never not pick up their own quirky qualities and mannerisms. So, I have put together this list of everything that has made me realize that I am 100% turning into my mother. I hope you can relate.

1. You’re starting to wear your hair very similar to the way she wears hers.

Running low on time? Throw a big clip in your hair and call it a day. It makes it easier when you want to roll the windows down. Whether it be a style or even just the color, you find yourself more attracted to your mom’s favorite go to look.

2. You find yourself giving the same motherly advice to your friends as your mom gives to you.

“You haven’t eaten today? We need to fix that. Let me see what kind of snack I have in my purse for you.” Whether it be giving advice about food, boys, or even just life, you find yourself wanting to take care of those around you just like your mom does for you.

3. You are beginning to have similar mannerisms.

You see a random person at the grocery store that has super cute shoes on? No problem! Walk over there and strike up a conversation with them about it! Whether your mom is shy or outgoing, you definitely begin to see those same behaviors within yourself.

4. You find you are more interested in the things she enjoys.

Whether it be similar books, favorite TV shows, etc., you find yourself interested in all of the things she has raved about for years. Maybe it’s because you’re getting older now or maybe it’s just because it’s inevitable that you’ll end up just like her.

5. You have picked up on some of her “famous lines.”

It could be anything from a quote she always likes to refer back to or just a quirky saying that’s all her own. You now understand why she always uses it and refers back to it—it all just makes sense now.

6. You’re starting to look just like her.

This is personally one of my favorites. The amount of times that I have been called my mother’s name is almost too many to count at this point. Now, this might not be true for everyone, but I know there are others out there that know exactly what I’m talking about.

But at the end of the day, you and I both know we wouldn’t want to have it any other way.

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.

"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?
