Being The Teen "MOM" Of Your Friends

You may not admit it or maybe you do but you love it!

Being The Teen "MOM" Of Your Friends
Danielle Muszak

No, you don’t have to have given birth to be a teen mom.

You can’t even remember when this “mom” thing became a thing but it won’t ever go away. You kind of just got this title by simply being you. You may not admit it or maybe you do but you love it! Here are seven signs you're the "mom" of your friend group:

1. They need it? You got it.

Sometimes your friends are convinced that your pocketbook is Mary Poppins’s. Tissues? Got it. Band-Aid? Got it. Hand sanitizer? Got it. Gum? What flavor? They need it, you got it and so much more! The best part is your fanny pack holds more than anyone could ever imagine.

2. You never show up anywhere empty handed.

Whenever the gang is getting together they can count on you to bring the “goods.” That is baked goods, to be specific. Cupcakes, cookies, brownies and anything and everything covered in chocolate. You really are a “Sugar Mama.”

3. Are you a carpool queen? Of course.

What better way to get the girls to school, parties and events while saving the lovely planet we live on? You are usually extremely punctual (unless you’re having a bad hair day) and cautious doesn’t even begin to explain how safe you always are when driving with your most prized possessions in the back seat.

4. You might not be Dr. Phil, but you definitely are a therapist.

You always know the right thing to say when your friends need a pick me up or some words of wisdom. Although you wouldn’t listen to half of your own advice, you give it to them for their best interest. Sometimes tough love is the love that they need.

5. You know your jokes are funny, but no one else does.

Some say dads tell the worst jokes, but you have stolen the title. Your collection of Popsicle stick jokes have met the comical phrases you heard in your science class to form the comedy act of the year. Too bad you’re the only one who laughs at the chuckle-worthy puns and knock-knock classics.

6. No one messes with Mama Bear’s cubs, NO ONE!

You are extremely protective over your friends and are willing to do anything and everything to ensure their happiness. If any boy breaks their heart you have vowed to break their life. You never want to see your girls with messy mascara and if you can avoid that you will take drastic measures.

7. Family (Friends) comes first

When it comes down to it, you will let your best friend borrow your shoes even if you wanted to wear them, eat the last slice of pizza even though you have not eaten all day and stay up late for vent sessions even if you have an 8 a.m. No matter the time or the place, you will give your all for your friends. Putting others before yourself is just how you were raised and how you will always be. Taking care of your friends is always an experience.

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:

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.
