13 Reasons I'm Not The "Mom Friend"
A Tiny Bit Beautiful

We all have that "mom friend" in our life. She's the wonderful reminder to make good choices and personal nurse (whether it's a hangover or the flu). However-- I am not that mom friend. I'm so far from the mom friend sometimes I wonder if I should be concerned. Like, will I ever even be responsible enough to be a good mom to... a dog? Or should I stick with fish my whole life?

1. No, I don't have tissues or hand sanitizer.

To be honest I don't even know why anyone would think I have these? Like where would I keep them? My bag is full of more important items, like a backup phone charger, 5 shades of lipstick and a Starbucks reward card.

2. I'm not a good hostess.

I'll forget to offer people a drink, I'll be ordering pizza instead of cooking a meal and it's probably BYOB.

3. I won't be the sober babysitter... ever.

Instead, I'll be right next to my friends taking shots, dancing on the bar and experiencing the world's worst hangover in the morning. I can't remember to drink a bottle of water and take two Advil before bed myself, so I definitely won't be reminding anyone else.

4. If it wasn't for Facebook I wouldn't remember birthdays.

Seriously I couldn't even remember my ex-boyfriend's birthday after years. I'll probably remember the month, but that's about as good as it gets.

5. I'm all about encouraging questionable behavior.

My friend want to drunk text her ex? Why not! Skinny dipping with someone she just met? Tell me how it goes! Singing karaoke even though she can barely stand up? I'll record it!

6. I can count on one hand how many times I've gone out as DD.

Don't get me wrong, I'll pick someone up if I'm home. But if I'm not drinking I'm probably not going out. I mean this is why Uber was invented right?

7. My "just don't die" texts are frequent.

Forget texting my friends "be careful" or "don't do anything I wouldn't do." Just make it through the night and tell me all about it tomorrow.

8. I don't know how to do "mom things."

We are lucky I know how to do laundry. If my friend needs someone to tell them what medicine to take, how to cook pasta perfectly, or the best cleaning supplies I'm the last person to ask.

9. I'll never tell you that you're dressed inappropriately.

I don't care how cold it is, how high those heels are or if my friends are wearing a lot of makeup-- you do you girlfriend.

10. I encourage procrastination when it's in the name of fun.

I mean that assignment can always get done tomorrow morning 16 minutes before class. In college, we can always retake a class, but you can't relive a Halloween bar crawl. Am I right?

12. I have a balanced diet of Chick-fil-A and wine.

What do you mean these aren't actually food groups? Plus I can avoid having to do dishes this way. Win, win.

13. Forget going to sleep at a reasonable hour, that's what naps are for.

Naps are like meals, you need multiple to make it throughout the day. They are also a great use of time when you should be doing assignments or laundry.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
