10 Signs You're The Mom Of Your Friend Group
Wundervisuals

We all have that one friend who takes care of the group. Need a pep talk? Forgot to bring snacks? Want a designated driver? The mom friend is your gal! She's got your back day in and day out.

Not sure who that person in your group of friends might be? Maybe it's you! Here are a few signs you're the mom friend:

1. No one messes with your friends

The mom side of you comes out in full for force when a friend is hurt or angry. You're not only the shoulder to cry on, but you'll whoop someone's butt for them if you have to.

2. You refer to close friends as "my babies," "sweetie/sweetheart" or "hun"

...and not one of them questions it.

3. You're usually the more sober one who takes care of the rest of the group

"No no, sweetie, you don't need another shot."

4. You require your friends to text or call you to make sure they got home safe

There's a good chance you didn't even go out with them that night, you're just checking – because you can never be too careful.

5. You're the designated mediator

You've got the best communication skills of the group, so if there's an argument you'll be the one to fix things.

6. When you're the host, you constantly worry about your guests

"Are you cold? I can shut the window!" "Do you want anything to drink?" "I have snacks if you're hungry!"

7. You keep track of your friends better than yourself

You're basically the group's human planner/calendar. If there's an event in anyone's life you'll be the one to remind them and prepare them.

8. You're the group go-to for advice

Everyone comes to you with their problems – and you always know what they need to hear.

9. You have all the snacks

Your friends will think you're silly for always having food until they're hungry and beg for a bite of that granola bar.

10. Sometimes you'll complain, but you still love being the mom of the group

Being the mom isn't always the most exciting role, but you enjoy every minute of it. After all, who would take care of all those hooligans if you didn't, right?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
