College is such a great time in your life.

It’s full of freedom, spontaneous adeventures, and doing basically whatever we feel like doing. When in college your groups of friends always include different people. You have the partiers, the nerds, the jocks, the mom friendsand the one special friend in the group the “Not the Mom Friend.”

If you’re not lucky enough to be that friend here’s what it’s like being that friend:

1. You have to text your friends your symptoms to make sure you’re not dying every time you have the slightest cough.

2. You don’t stop your friends from skipping class.

3. Your roommates usually telling you to make sure you're wearing a coat.

4. Uber is your go-to ride anywhere.

5. You’ve heard “What are you wearing?” more times than you can count.

6. 2 a.m. is a reasonable bedtime for you.

7. Any class before 11 a.m. is out of the question for you.

8. You consider Ramen noodles or mac-n-cheese bites a meal.

9. Napping is not just a luxury, it’s scheduled into your day.

10. You’re the mom friend's biggest nightmare.

11. You don’t think twice about skipping class.

12. Spending $20 at the grocery store is unreasonable to you but, $20 at McDonalds is always okay.

13. You forget about getting important things like gas for your car.

14. Tardiness is justifiable with Starbucks

15. Your laundry has been dirty for three weeks.

16. Or has been clean but sitting in a basket for two weeks.

17. You hear “don’t touch that” at least fifteen times a day.

18. The word “No” brings literal tears to your eyes.

19. Being responsible is hard for you.

20. When you actually HAVE to be the “Mom friend” you respect them a lot more because you realize dealing with 12 of you is the definition of hell.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
