The 9 Attributes Of A "Mom" Friend
James Latimer

The "mom" friend, as defined by Urban Dictionary, is "that one friend in your squad that's super responsible and almost over-protective of them." Every group has one. If you don't know who it is, it's probably you. Just for clarification so that you can be sure you are the "mom" friend, go ahead and look at these nine attibutes of a "mom" friend.

1. You are always put in charge

No matter what crazy situation your friend group is faced with, you are always seen as the leader of the group. Whether it be a sticky situation they need to get out of or powering through a group project, you know how to guide your friends.

2. Trustworthy

You are always given the majority of responsibilities. Also, your opinion is highly regarded. All your friends come to you for advice.

3. You can easily relate with your friends’ parents… sometimes more than your actual friends

You find yourself in your friends’ kitchens making small talk with their mothers more than actually hanging out with your friends. Sometimes it can be annoying, but hearing what happened to Michele last week at work is too juicy!

4. Always prepared

Tissues? Got them. Band-aids? In your bag. Shoulder to cry on? Right there.

5. Motivational speaker

Whether she has an exam coming up, needs help making a decision, or is losing faith in herself, your friend goes to you. You always know how to cheer your friends up and give them that extra push in whatever they are doing.

6. You can’t say no

You always want to be involved with all of your friends because you care about them so much. Because of this, you can never say no to hanging out or doing something fun. This normally ends up with you doing homework while hanging out, or afterwards until 2 a.m. At the end of it all, your bond with your friends is worth it.

7. You keep your friends safe

Whether it’s by walking them to their car or being the designated driver, your friends’ safety comes first.

8. Stopping your friends from doing something stupid

The following are example phrases you may say if you “mom” your friends

    1. “No, don’t text your ex.”
    2. “No, that does NOT go there!!!”
    3. “That will definitely catch on fire.”

9. You love your friends like nobody's business

Your friends are a huge part of your life. You have a deep care for them. Although it comes with a lot of responsibilities, you wouldn’t change the fact that you are the “mom” of the group for the world.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
