16 Tell-Tale Signs You're The "Mom" Of Your Friend Group
Go Team A-List

To my fellow "mom" friends: happy belated "Mother's" Day!

Without us, who knows how our friends would survive? How would they know to drive safe or remember to drink a big glass of water before bed?

Whether it's because you're a natural motherly type, mature and a control freak (like me!), or just have too much love for all of your friends, here's some signs that you're the "mom" friend of the group:

1. You always tell your friends to "be careful," no matter how many eye rolls you get

2. You're always the one to plan everything and coordinate everyone

Okay so you three are driving with me, and then you two can go with Tyler. We'll meet at the restaurant in ten!

3. You're the one to send out all of the reminder text messages

We leave tomorrow at noon to go up north, see you guys then!

4. You always make lists and make sure that everyone knows what they need to bring

5. And bring extra of everything because you know they'll forget something

6. You always tell your friends to "drive safe" and "text when you get home!"

7. You're the one who talks to the hostess/waiter when you all go out to eat

Don't worry guys, I got this.

8. You have to make sure that everyone behaves when they're in public

"Guys, stop swearing, there are kids around!"

9. You always have everything your friends need in your purse

Advil, tissue, tampons, pens, snacks: you've got it!

10. You always make sure everyone has had dinner before you go out

And no, a six-pack does not count

11. And that they actually stick to the buddy system

12. You're always subconsciously keeping tabs on everyone when you go out

13. And you probably worry a little more than you should about what they're doing

(I have to tell myself to chill out sometimes.)

14. You make sure that everyone has a pillow, blanket and a place to sleep

15. You're always the one to ask if anyone needs water or Advil (and the one who always goes to get the water or Advil)


16. Your friends literally say "Thanks, mom."

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.

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.
