Things You Know To Be True If You're The Mom Friend In A Mostly Male Group

The world is a big place, especially when you're 4'11.5". When all of your friends are extremely tall males you feel even shorter, but you also feel super relaxed because those are your boys. I might be small but I'm the mom of my group of male friends and here are a few things I learned from being the tiny boss of them.

1) They literally call you mom and will proceed to say "sorry mom" when you tell them not to do something.

2) Those are your boys and you are beyond protective of them, you will always go to bat for them.

3) You are the mom friend and because of that you constantly try to be the wingman, and threaten to fight any girl that hurts your boys.

4) You yell at them to wear jackets and put hoods on when it's pouring rain (@Dustin)

5) You put your arms in front of them when you stop short in cars just to be safe.

6) You've gotten to the point you yell the wrong names at them.

7) You love them fiercely and take care of them when they need it no matter what time of day.

8) You've put them to bed and literally tucked them in after a long night. Your phone volume is always all the way up even when you go to bed. Just in case they need you.

9) You literally take naps with them and cuddle with them like it's nothing. They literally fall asleep on your lap.

10) No matter what ,they're your family and you would never give up being the tiny mom for anything.


This ones for you loves. I love you and I will continue to be a pain in your ass because I worry like crazy and because I'm just naturally mom like. So stay smiling my beautiful boys.

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.

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.
