When You Are The Mom Of The Group

I'm becoming more and more like my mom every day

When You Are The Mom Of The Group

They say as you get older you tend to become more and more like your parents. In every friend group, there is at least one person that they can always count on to be the parental figure in the group. Are you becoming more like your parents? Are you the mom of the friend group?

You tend to always clean and organize


No matter the situation or time, you want everything to be in perfect condition. You’re even there for your friends to help clean their place, especially after a party. (or sometimes during)

Smart decisions are always encouraged



Those motherly instincts really kick into full gear when your friends try making questionable decisions.

Wanting to be queen of all hosts

When you have guests over you want to make sure that they are having a perfect time! So of course you ask them if they are hungry, thirsty, hot, cold or if they are having fun about 6 times. (Every hour)

You are the “responsible” one


You’re in charge of the keys, ID’s, money-basically the most important things during a night out.

You come prepared for every situation

No matter the situation, you have it under control. You go places and are prepared for the worst to happen, so naturally its normal to have extra clothes, food, drinks, first-aid kit and other necessities in your giant purse.

The amount of time you spend trying to control your friends is unreal

Basically you are queen of trying to corral your friends at 2 a.m. to make it onto the drunk bus!

The conversations you have

While most college kids aka you friends, are dancing on tables or playing pong with randoms, you find yourself having a normal conversation with someone, while standing in the hall pretending that your friends really aren't your friends.

Professional Helper

When it gets to be that time that your friends are in the bathroom throwing up everything they consumed that day, you are right there next to them - holding their hair or rubbing their back. It's what mothers do!

Hearing the name “Mom” and turning your head

It's pretty common to hear someone say the name "MOM!" and you turn your head, since I mean basically all your friends call you it anyway.

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.

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.

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.
