Have you ever worried about the kid walking to class not wearing a jacket for the winter? Or made sure your roommates ate dinner? And if they didn't, made them a grilled cheese?
Do people call you the mom of your friend group? Yes. Don't believe them? No. Well, here are the surefire signs that you are, in fact, the mom of the bunch:
1. You have a huge purse.
Someone needs Advil? A tissue? A clear coat of nail polish? You have everything in your purse. Even the most ridiculous situation can be taken care of by the constantly increasing supply of Olive Garden mints.
2. You're in bed by 10 p.m.
You purposefully plan your homework schedule to cater to your sleep. If you're up past 10 p.m., your schedule is thrown completely off and you absolutely cannot function the next morning without your cup of tea or coffee.
3. You play nurse.
Whenever a friend or roommate is sick, you have every kind of medicine: Aleve, Advil, Tums, Benadryl, NyQuill, you name it. You're like a CVS and mom combo in one. You make chicken soup and tea and persist until they're fully functional again.
4. Mom-isms.
You remember every phrase your mom drilled into your head. Leopards never change their spots. When in Rome... Don't wear black underwear with white shorts. Lay with dogs and you get fleas. And never forget sunblock. You bring SPF 100 everywhere. Oh, and you always eat granola bars before you leave for the day.
5. You have constant worry.
When your roommate goes out on the town, you always tell them to text you when they get there and back. You may also repeat "no strange men!" on the regular.
When a fire drill ensues the morning after Halloween, you drag your roommate out of bed even when they tell you to let them sleep. You feel like everyone needs to evacuate ASAP.
6. You watch the Today Show before class.
You thrive on checking out the latest story on the Today Show before your 11 a.m. class and are always all about the summer concert series. And of course, you drink coffee or tea from a mug with some adorable saying on it.
7. Everyone has to have a birthday celebration.
You make sure everyone has a birthday cupcake. You stay up late decorating the apartment and covering it in streamers to make sure no one ever forgets their school birthdays.
8. You thoroughly enjoy group exercise classes.
Spin class is your jam. You love being social with your 6 a.m. workout friends because everyone else is wide awake. The day starts before the sun even comes up and you're full of energy.
9. You're the advice giver.
You live to help friends whenever they need your help, and you love doing it because they're your friends and you'd go to the ends of the Earth to help them out and ensure there's a smile on their face.
