What It Means To Be The "Mom Friend"

I have to say, I am definitely the cool mom friend.

You may have heard the term "mom friend" thrown around, especially in college. But what does being the "mom friend," really mean?

Being the "mom friend," means you host a lot of make shift therapy sessions. Your friends come to you for advice, and it's not unusual for you to have a group therapy session where you are giving out loads of advice to your friends

Being the "mom friend," also means worrying endlessly. It isn't a surprise to find me waiting up for my room mate to come home (even if its 4 am).

You always want to make sure everyone is safe (and happy)!

It isn't uncommon for me to be woken in the middle of the night to go pick up one of my "children," who are lost on campus.

You also track EVERYONE. (Just for safety purposes).

You're always worried, and you can get a little bit naggy.

"Are you sad?" "Did you eat today?" "Did you do your home work?" "How did your test go?"

All in all, being the "mom friend," is an amazing person to be. People value and respect your opinion. It feels good to be taking care of people sometimes, especially when they're appreciative.

Being the "mom friend," for me is one of the most gratifying jobs I will have in my high school and college years.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
