As a fellow “Mom” personality type, I’ve learned to love this role. Here are some things I’ve noticed for all you nurturing types out there.

  1. You are a morale checker. You’re always the one making sure everyone is happy and having a good time when you are all hanging out.
  2. You carry a big purse with LOTS of things in it. Whether it be sunscreen, sunglasses, or even a first-aid kit for some, you always come prepared.
  3. You make a point to make sure everyone feels included. This quality of a mom personality is quite a great one. You want to be sure that everyone has their place in friend groups.
  4. You’re the nurturer. If someone is hurting, physically or mentally, they naturally want to come to you, and you are just the right person. You LOVE making others feel cared for.
  5. You’re typically the one organizing get togethers. Let’s be real, you're are the planner. You love to organize and plan events and activities for the friend group to do.
  6. You’re the encourager. It is your pride and joy to make others feel great about themselves and what they do.
  7. You’re the advice giver. You’re always there to help guide a friend in making a good decision, and although you’re gentle, you’re honest.
  8. You tend to play it on the cautious side most of the time. While other friends are not always thinking about the consequences of some of their actions, you analyze the consequences of EVERY action you take.
  9. You’re a deep thinker. You tend to be one who is able to have a sense for certain situations and personality types.You love to analyze why people said what they did and the deeper meaning behind it all.
  10. You love to support friends in their accomplishments. You’re the one that attends their events. Whether it be a basketball game, a play, or anything. You name it, and you’ll try your very best to be there.
  11. You enjoy calling over texting. Nothing beats a good ole' conversation.
  12. You're typically the driver to any event. As the more cautious one, you love to be behind the wheel.
  13. You enjoy giving other people rides. Whenever possible. Picking people up is a joy for you.
  14. You love to be in control. If you could have everyone just listen and do what you have to say, life would be so much easier for them... Right?
  15. You typically enjoy baking because, I mean, who doesn't? Making cute decorated cupcakes to your mom's famous chocolate chip ones, it's what you love doing.
  16. You surprise people with little treats. Whether it be a cute note or a homemade cookie, you're always into making people feel special.
  17. But most importantly… You bless the friend group by simply being YOU.

Love,

A fellow motherly person

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

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.
