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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
