When You Are The Mom Of The Group

I'm becoming more and more like my mom every day

When You Are The Mom Of The Group

They say as you get older you tend to become more and more like your parents. In every friend group, there is at least one person that they can always count on to be the parental figure in the group. Are you becoming more like your parents? Are you the mom of the friend group?

You tend to always clean and organize


No matter the situation or time, you want everything to be in perfect condition. You’re even there for your friends to help clean their place, especially after a party. (or sometimes during)

Smart decisions are always encouraged



Those motherly instincts really kick into full gear when your friends try making questionable decisions.

Wanting to be queen of all hosts

When you have guests over you want to make sure that they are having a perfect time! So of course you ask them if they are hungry, thirsty, hot, cold or if they are having fun about 6 times. (Every hour)

You are the “responsible” one


You’re in charge of the keys, ID’s, money-basically the most important things during a night out.

You come prepared for every situation

No matter the situation, you have it under control. You go places and are prepared for the worst to happen, so naturally its normal to have extra clothes, food, drinks, first-aid kit and other necessities in your giant purse.

The amount of time you spend trying to control your friends is unreal

Basically you are queen of trying to corral your friends at 2 a.m. to make it onto the drunk bus!

The conversations you have

While most college kids aka you friends, are dancing on tables or playing pong with randoms, you find yourself having a normal conversation with someone, while standing in the hall pretending that your friends really aren't your friends.

Professional Helper

When it gets to be that time that your friends are in the bathroom throwing up everything they consumed that day, you are right there next to them - holding their hair or rubbing their back. It's what mothers do!

Hearing the name “Mom” and turning your head

It's pretty common to hear someone say the name "MOM!" and you turn your head, since I mean basically all your friends call you it anyway.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
