When You're The Mom Of Your Friend Group

When you are the one everyone looks to for guidance. And snacks. And advice. And a cardigan when they get cold.

When you’re the mom of your friend group

Sometimes, you don't need to have kids to be a mom

1. You always buy people food…

2.…And cook them food...

3....And you make sure that they're eating enough

4.You always pick up clutter around the house

5.You know where everything is, even when it isn’t yours

6.You volunteer to do peoples laundry

7. You are the one to keep the peace between friends when a fight breaks out

8.You are always offering to drive people places or be the designated driver

9. You are the one who takes care of people when they’re sick

10. You wait up for your friends to come home before going to bed

11. You always have them text you when they get home so you know they’re safe

12. You are prepared for every tragedy: tissues for sneezing and crying, Band-Aids, tweezers, peroxide, wet naps, hand sanitizer, a granola bar, and a little sewing kit if someone loses a button on their shirt.

13. Wine has become your drink of choice

15. You are the master at sneaking in snacks and drinks in the movie theater for every one (I even brought a feather duvet cover for a blanket once)

16. You are responsible for gathering your friends up when you’re all going somewhere (which is a bit like herding cats. Sometimes drunk cats.)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
