https://img0.etsystatic.com

I am absolutely the "mom" of my friend group. I am notorious for carrying an absurdly over-sized bag with everything anyone could ever need in it, and carrying it at all times. I am always prepared for anything that may come my way. Heck, I just may be more prepared than the Boy Scouts. These are some of the items that I, like you if you are the "friend mom", ALWAYS have in my giant bag.

1. Tissues

2. Headache pills

3. Tums

4. Chap-stick

5. Pens/Pencils

6. Makeup bag

7. Hand-sanitizer

8. Lotion

9. Band-aids

10. Water

11. Deodorant

12. Snacks

13. Perfume

14. Paper

15. An umbrella

16. Nail clippers

17. Wet naps

18. Phone charger

19. Sunglasses

20. Gum

21. A tiny thread kit

22. Nail polish

23. Hair ties

People may make jokes about your huge purses stuffed to capacity but hey, you always have exactly what they need whenever they need it, and for that they thank you. Rock on, friend mom.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
