What It's Like To Be The Mother Of The Group

Always watching out.

What It's Like To Be The Mother Of The Group

Every group of friends has the "mom" of the group, and we can all instantly think of who that person is. In my friend group, I am considered the mom. The "mom" of all friend groups is the voice of reason, the person who always has snacks in her purse for everyone at the movies, tells you to stop biting your nails, and always has the best advice for the situation at hand.

You find yourself worrying about everyone for no reason. I constantly try to help people. I mean I guess I'm a Psychology major for all the right reasons because of that quality about me. I always try to be the best possible source for people and especially my friends. They mean the world to me and I would do anything and everything for them.

I feel I am the go-to person when my friends need me. I don't feel used or anything. I find it very sweet and even a compliment that my friends come to me all the time. I'm a great people person and I always will be. Helping people is in my nature and I'm sure of it.

I know how each of my friends works and I know what they like to do. If Pj needs a pick me up, I take him to pet puppies at Pet Palace. If Morgan needs someone there for her, I'll join her to take pictures to get her mind off things. If Anna and I go a week without seeing each other we will go out and search for the best cheesecake in the area that weekend. If Aj needs me, we go to Northern Lights, grab a coffee, and plays a few rounds of chess. If Lexi needs someone, I'll grab a bag of chips and find a stupid scary movie on Netflix for us to watch.

I didn't sign up for this spot. It kinda fell upon me. I am happy to be there for my friends when they need me. I love being with each of them for all different reasons. They all make me so happy in different ways so I always have their back because i know they will always have mine.

I always treat people fairly, with respect, and with love. I hate having or creating enemies for any reason. Even when I fight with my friends it doesn't last more than a day. I can't hold grudges because I care way too much about the friendship. These people in my life are far too important to me.

I don't mind being the voice of reason. I love being in this position and it makes me who I am. It is also proof that I picked the right major. I know this is the right path for me based on my role in my friend group.

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

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
