9 Signs That You May Be The Mom Friend
Bailey Callison

Are you the "mom friend" of your social group? Maybe if any of the below apply to you, you'll have a better idea:

1. You know everyone's schedule.

Everyone's wanting to go out on Thursday night? Mmmm, not gonna work- Sarah has an exam the next morning that she has to study for. Wanna go see a movie Monday night? Sorry, Taylor has a meeting for her honors society, we'll have to reschedule.

2. Your purse doubles as a survival kit.

It's no secret that you have everything from napkins to band-aids to snacks in your bag. Your friends know who to come to when they're out and in need.

3. Your friends call you when they're sick, because they think you'll know the cure.

You know that chicken soup and some Tylenol can solve even the harshest of colds.

4. You always have coupons when you go out to eat, or shopping.

It's just silly to pay full price for anyth- and oh my goodness, you used to make fun of your mom for couponing, and now you sound just like her.

5. You always expect a text saying that they made it home safely.

A simple text is much, much easier than using "Find My Friends" to determine if they're at their house (and a lot less creepy).

6. Your friends always come to you when they need a shoulder to cry on, because if their real mom isn't there, you're the next best thing.

Your advice is almost as good as their mom's... you just don't have quite as much experience.

7. You always have an extra sweater with you.

You've learned that someone in your group always ends up complaining about being cold, so you've taken it upon yourself to go ahead and bring along an additional sweater.

8. Everyone can always count on you to be the voice of reason in a sticky situation.

You encourage your friend to NOT call her ex-boyfriend during a moment of weakness, and you tell them the truth when they're in the wrong in an argument.

9. You're such a great "mom" friend that when it comes time for you to have a little maternal advice, you're in luck, because all of your friends have learned from the best.

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.

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.
