Always watching out.

What It's Like To Be The Mother Of The Group
sf.racked.com

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.

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.
