This era of the 21st century has changed a lot about the functionality of this world. Women being housewives is more of a choice now, rather than a compulsion. With that being said, a lot of us have working moms. They are the pillars of our family, the superheroines that save your ass every time it is on the verge of getting hit. We are inspired by them at least 10 times in one single day. But amongst all of us, there is a percentage of people whose mothers are nothing less than workaholics! They are work monsters or true magicians perhaps. In the constant split between work and home, no-one knows how they manage…

Workaholic moms are the kind to only change their outfits twice in a day- once, from their night suits to their work clothes, and then, from their office attires to their sleeping gowns. If you think you know someone who falls in the category, this is it. Here are the best situations you go through for having workaholics for mothers:

1. She decides your haircuts, no questions asked

No way you're dreaming about the Kardashian lifestyle, my dear. If it's her way (which it will always be), your hair is going to be short. Most suitable for a corporate setup!

2. You've learned all your excuses for running late from her

You're both all about the 'chasing the clock' kinda life.

3. She questions your intellect on every opportunity

Your habit of not applying your brain brings physical pain to her.

4. If you're her first child, her cell phone is her second

You've been replaced, it's true. Make room for the adopted sibling!

5. You know how to survive without home-cooked meals SO WELL!

When it comes to food, life is a party!

6. She asks you the same question 98230173 times

Chances are she has been too mentally occupied to even realize the question has been answered a lot of times now..."For the fiftieth time now, yes, I took the trash out!!!"

7. She will despise your ripped jeans until your last day


It's decided, I will have to turn antisocial and live low. World fashion and my mother don't go hand-in-hand.

Working moms are, honestly, the biggest and smallest entertainment factors of your lives. Smallest, because they are not present with you physically, and biggest because no matter what you do, they are always in the back of your minds. You are always guessing what their reaction might be to whatever you're doing.

I will always be amazed by the amount of energy they have to be able to constantly manage work, home, and your moronic activities.

They are true magicians. Nope, scratch that. They are God.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.
