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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
