Being The Teen "MOM" Of Your Friends

You may not admit it or maybe you do but you love it!

Being The Teen "MOM" Of Your Friends
Danielle Muszak

No, you don’t have to have given birth to be a teen mom.

You can’t even remember when this “mom” thing became a thing but it won’t ever go away. You kind of just got this title by simply being you. You may not admit it or maybe you do but you love it! Here are seven signs you're the "mom" of your friend group:

1. They need it? You got it.

Sometimes your friends are convinced that your pocketbook is Mary Poppins’s. Tissues? Got it. Band-Aid? Got it. Hand sanitizer? Got it. Gum? What flavor? They need it, you got it and so much more! The best part is your fanny pack holds more than anyone could ever imagine.

2. You never show up anywhere empty handed.

Whenever the gang is getting together they can count on you to bring the “goods.” That is baked goods, to be specific. Cupcakes, cookies, brownies and anything and everything covered in chocolate. You really are a “Sugar Mama.”

3. Are you a carpool queen? Of course.

What better way to get the girls to school, parties and events while saving the lovely planet we live on? You are usually extremely punctual (unless you’re having a bad hair day) and cautious doesn’t even begin to explain how safe you always are when driving with your most prized possessions in the back seat.

4. You might not be Dr. Phil, but you definitely are a therapist.

You always know the right thing to say when your friends need a pick me up or some words of wisdom. Although you wouldn’t listen to half of your own advice, you give it to them for their best interest. Sometimes tough love is the love that they need.

5. You know your jokes are funny, but no one else does.

Some say dads tell the worst jokes, but you have stolen the title. Your collection of Popsicle stick jokes have met the comical phrases you heard in your science class to form the comedy act of the year. Too bad you’re the only one who laughs at the chuckle-worthy puns and knock-knock classics.

6. No one messes with Mama Bear’s cubs, NO ONE!

You are extremely protective over your friends and are willing to do anything and everything to ensure their happiness. If any boy breaks their heart you have vowed to break their life. You never want to see your girls with messy mascara and if you can avoid that you will take drastic measures.

7. Family (Friends) comes first

When it comes down to it, you will let your best friend borrow your shoes even if you wanted to wear them, eat the last slice of pizza even though you have not eaten all day and stay up late for vent sessions even if you have an 8 a.m. No matter the time or the place, you will give your all for your friends. Putting others before yourself is just how you were raised and how you will always be. Taking care of your friends is always an experience.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
