They're there to make sure that you actually make it home from the nights out, that you don't text your ex and most importantly that you're still alive the next day. They make you feel as if your own mom is there at college with you. They take care of you when you're sick and they know all your important dates. Sometimes they even make you a calendar. They send you the texts each day to keep you going or simply to just check on you.

If you do anything these 11 things well then, you're probably the mom of the group.

1. Strips stripes and more stripes

You own about 15 shirts that are exactly the same and all stripes. Anything stripes you buy right away

2. You bought crocs because of the arch support, no matter what everyone says about them

Not going to lie, i did this one. You just can't beat that comfort

3. You're not only the DD for nights out but you're also the herder

You make sure that not only everyone get home alive, but that they actually leave the bar. You get up and herd everyone together, no matter how many are crying

4. You bring all the hang over necessities the next morning

Everyone has Advil and water and greasy food, all thanks to you

5. You send the weekly reminder that there is a test at the end of the month

You make sure that they all know about the test and if you're in the same classes, you even make sure they have the perfect notes too

6. You carry the giant "mom" bag

This purse has everything in it. From napkins to snacks, you've got it all

7. You dress like a soccer mom

People sometimes confuse you for an actual mom because you're dressed just like one

8. You're at everyone's important events

It could be sporting events or even just an award, but you're there supporting them

9. You make sure that everyone is hydrated throughout the day

You always have a water bottle and are constantly making sure that everyone is drinking

10. You're the best because moms are the best

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours.
