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.

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.
