25 Texts You've Sent If You're The 'Mom Friend'

Mom friends usually get a healthy amount of teasing from their friends about the things they worry about, but we only worry because we care. Yes, that's why we texted you three times in a row, and no, we're not going to stop because you laughed at the fourth notification.

1. Are you home safe?

It's important that I know you are.

2. How are you feeling?

The partner text to a rowdy night.

3. Drink some water.

Staying hydrated is important.

4. How's your paper going?

You had a busy week this week and it's important someone checks in on you.

5. A happy holidays text in the group message

Squad greetings.

6. Where are you?

Because you're picking someone up at some point and everyone knows it.

7. Time to go

You don't need to call your ex, you need to get home and get in bed.

8. What time are we meeting at the library?

Group study sessions are mom friend approved for sure.

9. You should wear that [insert clothing item here].

It's important to hype up your friends.

10. Don't talk about your mom like that.

We stick with real moms, as honorary moms.

11. Your parents were great!

Because if your friends' parents are coming into town you're going to meet them.

12. Did your parents like me?

Parental approval is important to everyone, but mom friends kind of need it.

13. Don't drink too much!

It's common sense, but it's important someone actually says it.

14. Let me take a picture of you guys when you get here

Your friends have a new boyfriend and it's your duty as mom friend to photograph it.

15. You got this!

Encouragement is key.

16. I'm worried about you

Honestly, we're always worried.

17. Here's the plan

You've got a schedule ready and everyone better get there on time.

18. Don't forget [followed by literally anything]

You're like a built in calendar.

19. What is everyone doing tonight?

Checking in? Always.

20. I'm bringing snacks

Even if you're not hosting, you're always kind of hosting.

21. I have that

Whether it's an extra blanket, white out, or a bandaid. You have it and you'll bring it to your friend in need.

22. Be safe

Important and translates to "I love you."

23. I'll have my phone on

Tinder date? Your friends are going out partying without you? The volume on your ringer is up and you're ready to save the day.

24. I got a card

Everyone just needs to sign it.

25. I'm coming over

Because sometimes a text isn't enough.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.
