Every group of friends have one, the mom of the group.

They're there to make sure that you actually make it home from the nights out, that you don't text your ex and most importantly that you're still alive the next day. They make you feel as if your own mom is there at college with you. They take care of you when you're sick and they know all your important dates. Sometimes they even make you a calendar. They send you the texts each day to keep you going or simply to just check on you.

If you do anything these 11 things well then, you're probably the mom of the group.

1. Strips stripes and more stripes

You own about 15 shirts that are exactly the same and all stripes. Anything stripes you buy right away

2. You bought crocs because of the arch support, no matter what everyone says about them

Not going to lie, i did this one. You just can't beat that comfort

3. You're not only the DD for nights out but you're also the herder

You make sure that not only everyone get home alive, but that they actually leave the bar. You get up and herd everyone together, no matter how many are crying

4. You bring all the hang over necessities the next morning

Everyone has Advil and water and greasy food, all thanks to you

5. You send the weekly reminder that there is a test at the end of the month

You make sure that they all know about the test and if you're in the same classes, you even make sure they have the perfect notes too

6. You carry the giant "mom" bag

7. You dress like a soccer mom

It could be sporting events or even just an award, but you're there supporting them

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
