18 Signs You're The Mom Of The Friend Group

In today’s culture, calling someone “Mom” can have a couple of definitions. One, of course, is actually your mom. Another, can be when friends call each other mom. You have certain qualities that show that you are responsible and can handle a lot at once, just like a mom can. Every friend group needs that “mom.” So, if you are the mom of your friend group, like me, you probably show most of these qualities that make you “the mom."

1. When driving, you make sure everyone has their seat belt on.

2. You are usually the designated driver.

3. ...Or if you don’t drive (which is rare), you make sure they text you to make sure they got home safely.

4. You are one of their biggest fans and top supporters in anything they do.

5. You usually take the leadership role and they can count on you in leading them to the right place.

6. You are usually the peace maker.

7. You usually bring snacks/drinks to every event.

8. Your friends always ask you to remind them about upcoming events.

9. You also know their schedules by heart and help in making them as well.

10. You always tell everyone to be safe in wherever they go because you care about them.

11. They come to you for advice.

12. You know when it’s time to joke around…

13. ...And be when it’s time to be serious.

14. You usually clean up after everyone.

15. You are the groups event planner.

16. You look like you have your life together…

17. ...But you really don’t.

18. At the end of the day, your friends appreciate your mom-ness and you!

Being the mom just makes you more awesome than you were before! Don’t ever be ashamed of it; your friends look up to you.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
