10 Signs You're the Mom of the Group

It's not easy, but someone has to do it!

I'm not like most people...I don't drink. At all. Being at such a big party school, it can be so difficult at times because I don't drink and that seems to be the only thing to do for fun there. So instead of sitting home and binge watching whatever I can find on Netflix, I still go out and find ways to have fun. When I go out with my friends, I'm the one who always make sure that everybody gets home safe to their own beds, is tucked in, and has a slight bit of their mental ability left. Mother Morgan to the rescue I always say. Here's a list of things you know too well if you're like me and are the mom of the group.

1. You're always the designated driver

Alright kiddos, let me finish my water. Lets get you into your car seat and head home!

2. You spend more time together trying to get everyone together at the end of the night than you do actually going out, and it is not fun

Trying to rally everyone together is the worst part of the night. Don't forget someone!

3. There's always that one friend that you have to mentally prepare yourself about bringing home

We've all got that one friend who puts up the biggest fight about wanting to leave the bars...

4. When your friends party at your place you find yourself asking all the "Mom" questions

Believe me, this is asked quite often

5. You're there for everything. Carpool, holding the hair back, making sure they go home with the "right" boyfriend.

But do they ever make good choices....?

6. You always feel the need to tidy up when you have people come over

You can't have people in your house with that dirty pan in the sink...like come on.

7. You always have your phone on you and constantly check it to see if one of you "kids" texted or called you

But do they ever...no. Lol.

8. You're the first one to comfort the drunks

There there.

9. You have no shame in being the opposite of the "typical" college student

You don't care at all if you're nothing like everyone else you meet because you know that you're the reason they didn't sleep in a ditch last night.

10. Everyone always feels better after they talk to you

Your advice is always spot on, you're too good at what you do.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
