8 Things You Say If You're The 'Mom' Of Your Friend Group
Bustle

Within every squad is a person who seems to take on the role similar to that of a mom. This person is constantly rooting for the safer option, avoiding risks, and urging you to make smart choices. They look out for you even when you don't ask them to, and for that reason, you and your crew have labeled them the "Mom" of your friend group. If this person is you, you probably get the "just live a little" or "let loose" or "stop worrying so much" from your friends, and as much you might want to let go and be carefree, it's just too risky to leave it up to anyone else but yourself to be the responsible for the night. Trust me, I've been there. And I'm here to tell you that there is nothing wrong with being that person!

1. "Do you have your seatbelt on?"

Whether I'm the driver or not, I always check to make sure all passengers have their seatbelts on. I can't help it!

2. "Make sure you put sunscreen on!"

I think this is mostly because I get burned easily myself and I would hate to see one my BFFs suffering. I guess it's just the Mom in me!

3. "Did you bring a sweater? It might get cold."

Being prepared for things such as variable weather is absolutely necessary. You just never know when it might start snowing in August or when the sun might break through in January, am I right?!

4. "Be careful!"

Advising your friends to be cautious is constant because you can't stop anticipating the worst. Every "what if" scenario crosses your mind, but you don't care because you're always ready to jump into action if something goes wrong!

5. "It's time to go home."

Sometimes giving your friends a little gentle push so you can safely get them home is necessary.

6. "You're so cute!"

If you don't comment this on your friends' pics on Instagram, are you even the Mom of your group???

7. "Please make smart decisions! And call if you need anything!"

When you can't be with your friends while they're out, you still remind them that you are always just a call away.

8. "I love you!"

Letting your friends know that you care is something you do in pretty much everything you say, and expressing that to them is evident in things like asking them if they have their seatbelt on. It's the same thing as telling them explicitly that you love them and want them to live should there be an accident. Still, sometimes saying those three little words is a must.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
