What It's Like Being The Mom Of Your Friends

In every friend group, there is someone who is the one that is always taking care of everyone else. In my group of friends, that's me. I am the mom of the group. I help them when they've spent too much time in J Bar, I give them advice when things aren't going well, and when someone is sick, they ask me if WebMD is accurate (no, it isn't. Ever). I have literally been called "Mom" by my friends, and of course, I call some of my friends "Mom," like when they give me sage advice about how to deal with people who have eight faces instead of two, and when they spend their nights eating pizza with me and forcing me to watch scary movies. Here's a way to tell you if are the mom of your friends.

1. When you all go out, you take care of them and keep them from embarrassing themselves.


2. You get them water, feed them chips, and help them jump into bed after said night out.


3. You are asked to give advice, even when you don't know what you're talking about.

No, I don't know what that rash is. Yes you should see a doctor, and no, you shouldn't go back to him after he cheated on you (that one is a given, but people still need hear it anyway).


4. You are always ready for bed at any time of the day.


5. You wear comfortable clothes most of the time, because moms are always on the go.


6. You are busy with meetings and other things, which causes your friends to text you and ask you where you are a lot of the time.

7. You're the one that your friends bring their new boyfriend or girlfriend to for approval.

There is no test like the mom test.


8. You're the responsible one.

You order the pizza, you take control of sticky situations, you make the plans, you take charge.


9. You cannot stand their messy rooms.

Whenever you visit, you tidy up to make sure that your friends are living in habitable conditions.


10. You always come prepared.

Snacks? Tissues? Pain medicine?...Got it, got it, and got it.


11. You are always there for you friends, and they're there for you too.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
