No one can text you quite like your mom can.

8 Classic Texts You Get From Your Mom
Thought Catalog

There's nothing quite like texts from our moms. In my experience, they usually involve a lot of punctuation, and I often have to decipher what she's saying before I can respond. It's not too different than getting drunk texts from my friends. Here are some classic 'mom texts' we've all received.

1. The Unnecessary Worry.


2. The (slightly more necessary, but still unnecessary) Worry.

My mom and I run into this one the most.




Seriously, all the time.


3. The Complete Lack of Worry.

At this point, should we actually be the one whose worried?

But, we've all gotten these a time or two. Moms have a lot to think about, what city their child is in can be a hard thing to remember.

4. The Hieroglyphic.


5. The Tease.

My mom likes to tell me about the fun she's having, and often include pictures but no invitation. Sometimes, like in the picture below, she even likes to add insult to injury. I hope this is all moms and not just mine?

6. Cryptic Messages.

These tend to involve a lot of 'haha's and '...'

or manic laughing at my age two years ago, in my moms case.

7. The Overly Excited.

A world without emojis sure can be dark.

8. The Unexpected Surprise.

Depending on who you ask, this could be the worst or best type of text from mom.

It's by far my personal favorite.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
