When You’re The “Mom” Of Your Friend Group…

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

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
