10 Ways To Know If Your Mom Is Actually Your Best Friend
Taylor Coleman

Do you have that one friend that you tell everything to? You know, the one that you can talk to for hours at a time and never run out of things to say. The one that knows anything and everything about you. The friend that can talk you down when you're having a fit, and talk you up when you've hit rock bottom (a.k.a. exam week when you've had little to no sleep and feel as if your dreams will never come true). Well, that person happens to be my mom! As corny as it sounds, I don't know what I would do without her in my life. So just in case you're not sure, here are 10 signs that your mom may actually double as your best friend, too!

1. You call her.... ALL THE TIME.

Let's face it, anytime anything happens she is the first person you call. Whether it's something small or something big she is the first person you want to talk to! Often times you may even find yourself counting down the minutes until you know she will be able to talk, and you know she is doing the same.

2. That feeling you get when she watches one of your shows without you.


I'm pretty sure that if DVR was around when the 10 commandments were written this would be one of them. I mean, why would she even think to watch one of your shows without you? Of course, she feels the same way when you accidentally do the same.

3. You know she always has your back, no matter what.

She may have never met the people that you interact with everyday, but if someone does something to you she will always be the first to have your back. She knows all about "What's Happening" and frequently asks for updates.

4. She acts weird in public, yet it doesn't embarrass you.

Probably because she passed the weirdness down to you, too.

5. She is the only one that can keep you from having a mental breakdown.

When life gets rough and you start going on a pity party, she is the first person to bring you back to reality. I mean, who will care if your clothes matched on September 17, 2016 in 5 years or that you made a C in that one class your freshman year.

6. You always call her first when you need advice.

Most importantly, she is always willing to give it. I mean, she does have the best advice a girl could ask for so why wouldn't you call her first?

7. You have an equal love for all food.

If your weekends home and road trips evolve around the food you will be eating, then this one definitely applies to you. I mean, why go somewhere if the food is going to be less than spectacular.

8. She knows everything about you, no matter how embarrassing it may be.

She knows all of your secrets that I am sure will come back to haunt you one day. However, you wouldn't change it for the world. I mean, who else could you trust with this important information?

9. She is your biggest fan.

She is and always has been your biggest supporter, reminding you daily just how proud she is of you and all of your accomplishments. Through everything you accomplish you know that she will always be there, front and center, waiting to cheer you on.

10. When you leave after a weekend visit you get serious withdraws.

Lastly, you miss her more than anything else while away and frequently count the days and nights until you are reunited again.


If all (or most) of these are true, then congrats! Your mom also doubles as your best friend, which I'm sure you know by now happens to be one of the greatest blessings in life. So go home, visit, eat lots of food, hug her tight, and count down the days until your reunited again.

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.

It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
