10 Signs You're The Mom Of Your Friend Group

Every group has one... every group needs one.

A lot of us are lucky enough to have two moms. Okay, okay... there's the one who literally birthed you (who is super awesome and deserves a constant round of applause), but many of us have been blessed with a second, lesser recognized mom -the mom-friend. This is the friend who will not only always listen, but also give you the advice you never knew you needed. She's someone we'd all be lost without.

Here are 10 signs you are the (sometimes) underappreciated, (always) incredible mom of your friend group.


1. You're the one that organizes the plans.


When you've got a bunch of people, with a bunch of ideas about how to make your Friday night "perfect", all eyes turn to you to make the final decision. Your job doesn't end there. You then make any reservations, figure out transportation, and plan the night down to the seconds.


2. Whether they notice or not, you're always tidying up when you go to your friend's houses.



"Yeah, that's so funny! Tell me more..." *You say as you slowly pick up their clothes off the floor*


3. You don't sleep until you get that "I'm home" text.



After a night out, you all go your separate ways back home. But the night is far from over for you because no shut-eye will be had until your friends text you that they're safe. They promised they would!


4. You make puns. Often.



Your friends love your puns though! They're funny! Ha...


5. Your friend's ex is a jerk. Period. No questions asked.



Whether you know him or not, the second he breaks your friend's heart... he has become "He who must not be named".


6. You've got a Mary Poppins purse.



Your friend didn't have time for dinner before you went out? You've got snacks. Phone dead by 9 pm? No biggy. Charger or portable charger?


7. Texts of encouragement are frequent... and lengthy.



That big test your friend has been freaking out about, her interview tomorrow, or even making sure they don't back out of dumping him... you've got some wise words for that!


8. You'll leave a night out early to watch Netflix in bed. No shame.



You feel about 10 seconds of guilt for leaving... but that passes the second you see that "Recently Watched" section, aka your home for the next couple of hours.


9. "Don't say I didn't warn you!" - You on any day, ever.



You hate to say it (lies. You love it.) but...


10. It can be hard taking on this role, but you know your friends appreciate your mom-ness.



They'd be lost without you!

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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.

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. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
