10 Signs That You Are the Mom Friend of Your Friend Group

In This Article:


First and foremost, you may be asking yourself, "What the heck is a Mom Friend?" Well that is an excellent question. A Mom friend is the most responsible and overprotective person in your friend group. If you are struggling to figure out who that would be amongst all your friends, then chances are it's you. Here are 10 signs to help you figure out whether you are the Mom Friend.

1. You are the Designated Driver

I'm not just talking about driving to the bar on a night out (although you probably do that as well). Carpool is second nature at this point, whether you're driving two hours away or across the street to the dining hall when you're all too lazy to walk you are the one in the driver's seat.

2. You nurse your friends back to health

You are well acquainted with holding a friends hair back after a night out, running to the pharmacy for cold medicine, and probably have a delicious chicken noodle soup recipe at the ready. You hate the thought of your friends feeling sick and you'll do whatever you can to help them get better.

3. You are always offering advice and reality checks when needed

Your friends come running to you when they are going through a rough time. They know you'll never judge them, but you'll tell them what they need to hear not what they want to hear. You really should start getting paid for all of the free therapy sessions you're giving out.

4. You're usually the most sober during a night out

Someone has to be. One friend is dancing on top of the bar, the other is crying in the gross bathroom, and you can't forget about the one throwing back tequila shots with her ex. You like to keep an eye out for all your girls. That way you can have a clear mind when you need to corral them all into the Uber and tuck them into bed with water and a sleeve of saltine crackers.

5. You're purse is a bottomless pit

Perfume? Snacks? Hairbrush? Gum? Hair ties? First Aid Kit? You name it, you have it. You're always prepared for whatever life throws at you. No one's ever hangry on your watch.

6. You're the shoulder to cry on

Whether it's a bad breakup or finals week stress, you're always ready to listen, offer words of comfort, and with armloads of tissues.

7. "Please, make good choices" is your catchphrase

You're not trying to sound like Jamie Lee Curtis from Freaky Friday, but hey if the shoe fits.

8. You are the planner of the group

Planning the itinerary for beach trips and keeping everyone on schedule for what time to leave for dinner is a common occurrence. Without you, nothing would ever get done.

9. You are a momma bear

While you may not be the most outgoing person in the room, everything changes when it comes to protecting your friends. How dare anyone try to hurt one of your beautiful babies!

10. You are probably always anxious af

Let's be honest, stress is a daily occurrence. You typically like to be prepared and always consider what the worst case scenario is for every occasion. But don't worry, your friends love you anyway! You guys balance each other out, and they help bring out the more relaxed side of you.


So what do you think, are you the Mom Friend of your friend group? If so, welcome to the club! We meet biweekly, and yes, please feel free to bring a baked good.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
