We all have that one friend that somewhere down the line was designated as the "responsible one", the one who makes sure that you survive college without having your real mother there to take care of you. I like to call that friend Mom.

1. If Mom sees you sitting on the couch and playing on your phone, she is not shy to nag you to clean your room or pick up after yourself.

2. You know she will always be there to remind you that it is time to do your laundry.

3. Mom always has snacks, so you will never starve.

4. Because you are seemingly incapable, she helps you fix the light in you room or format that impossible excel sheet.

5. Without her, you would most likely forget your wallet, purse, and/or keys at least once a week.

6. She helps you (or forces you) to study or go to the gym when it is the last thing that you want to do.

7. You save money on Uber because Mom doesn't mind carpooling you around.

8. Mom is always the first to check on you to make sure you made it home safe after a night out.

9. You have someone who is willing to gossip with you and listen to you vent about your problems. (Even though this is the 100th time you have reiterated how annoyed you are at that girl in your math class).

10. She knows literally everything, I mean everything about you and your life.

12. She is the only one who knows exactly how to deal with you when you are mad-sad-had too much sugar.

13. Mom is not afraid to put you in your place and tell you that you are “better than that" if you are making poor decisions.

14. Mostly because she expects a lot out of you.

15. You always want to make Mom proud so you are sure to tell her every little victory of your day from actually getting around to cleaning your room for once to nailing that test you have been studying for.

16. You know she will always support you in everything that you do.

17. Just like your real mom, Mom will always be one of your best friends and you can’t thank her enough for being the responsible one when you can't–won't be.
