10 Signs You're the Mom of the Group
Morgan Sokolic

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.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
