Always watching out.

What It's Like To Be The Mother Of The Group

Every group of friends has the "mom" of the group, and we can all instantly think of who that person is. In my friend group, I am considered the mom. The "mom" of all friend groups is the voice of reason, the person who always has snacks in her purse for everyone at the movies, tells you to stop biting your nails, and always has the best advice for the situation at hand.

You find yourself worrying about everyone for no reason. I constantly try to help people. I mean I guess I'm a Psychology major for all the right reasons because of that quality about me. I always try to be the best possible source for people and especially my friends. They mean the world to me and I would do anything and everything for them.

I feel I am the go-to person when my friends need me. I don't feel used or anything. I find it very sweet and even a compliment that my friends come to me all the time. I'm a great people person and I always will be. Helping people is in my nature and I'm sure of it.

I know how each of my friends works and I know what they like to do. If Pj needs a pick me up, I take him to pet puppies at Pet Palace. If Morgan needs someone there for her, I'll join her to take pictures to get her mind off things. If Anna and I go a week without seeing each other we will go out and search for the best cheesecake in the area that weekend. If Aj needs me, we go to Northern Lights, grab a coffee, and plays a few rounds of chess. If Lexi needs someone, I'll grab a bag of chips and find a stupid scary movie on Netflix for us to watch.

I didn't sign up for this spot. It kinda fell upon me. I am happy to be there for my friends when they need me. I love being with each of them for all different reasons. They all make me so happy in different ways so I always have their back because i know they will always have mine.

I always treat people fairly, with respect, and with love. I hate having or creating enemies for any reason. Even when I fight with my friends it doesn't last more than a day. I can't hold grudges because I care way too much about the friendship. These people in my life are far too important to me.

I don't mind being the voice of reason. I love being in this position and it makes me who I am. It is also proof that I picked the right major. I know this is the right path for me based on my role in my friend group.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
