7 Ways To Know You're The Mom Of Your Friend Group
Alyssa Tompkins

Every group of friends has one.. The "mom" of the group. They're protective, worried, but most of all, caring. They keep your best interest in mind and know exactly what to say, or do, to keep you going.

1. You're prepared for everything.

Snacks? Bandaids? You got it all.

2. You keep tabs on your friends.

Sometimes you just have to double check the Find My Friends app to be sure they're where they're supposed to be.

3. You're always there.

No matter what the situation is, you're ready to listen and react.

4. You're very protective of your friends.

No one can hurt or insult your friends. Except for you because you are mom.

5. You have to rally your friends up.

Whether it's 2AM at the bar or you just want to have a nice dinner, trying to get everyone together is quite the show.

6. You've spent a lot of times as the designated driver.

It may get old sometimes, but you know it's one of your responsibilities as the mom.

7. You're motherly instincts come out when one of your friends is about to make a bad decision.

You go into full "mom mode" when you know something bad is about to happen.

It might not always be fun or easy, but being mom is what you're good at, and you love your friends too much to change anything about it.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
