How To Know You're The Mom Of The Friend Group

Levo.com

Every friend group has its designated mom. We know them, we love them, and we can't live without them. What would the squad be without that one slightly responsible friend to try to keep everyone's lives together? If you're sitting here thinking that your friend group doesn't have a mom, you may want to consider that you are the mom. Being the mom isn't a bad thing, it just means you care deeply about your friends. You're the one they can't live without and, at the end of the day, you can't live without them. Here are a few tips and tricks to find out whether you are the mom of the friend group.

1. You always have snacks for the whole squad.

Whether you're studying at the library, spending a day at the beach or getting ready for a night out, you're set to provide your group with the energy they need to keep going.

2. You also always have water with you.

Hydration is key!

3. You are always fully stocked with band-aids and Advil.

You're basically a walking first-aid kit.

4. You pick your friends up when they're down (literally and figuratively).

If one person's down, you all are.

5. You're the personal chauffeur of the friend group.

Someone's got to do all this driving!

6. You give advice to your friends and often enjoy doing so.

You've found yourself second-guessing your major. Maybe you should become a psychologist?

7. You defend your friends with your life.

They have to get through you first!

8. You're usually the one to break up any fights.

It can be tough to be the mediator but someone has to keep the group together!

9. You try to be the responsible one and discipline your friends.

If they actually listen is a whole other story.

10. But sometimes it can be like the blind leading the blind.

You're just experienced as they are, after all.

11. You always have an open shoulder to cry on.

Or two when situation gets rough.

12. You're the squad's biggest supporter and personal photographer.

People might not believe you were there that night but it's because you were just behind the camera!

13. You always get your friends home safe after a night out.

You can't sleep until everyone texts you they're OK.

14. At the end of the day you wouldn't have it any other way.

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
