You Know You're The "Mom" Friend When..

I guess what I'm trying to say is that being the "mom" friend isn't always a bad thing.

You Know You're The "Mom" Friend When..
Maranda Cooper

We all have this one friend who's like the "mom" of the group. Whether that's the person who gives you advice, helps you with your homework, drives you home from a party drunk, or tries to baby you when you're sick. If you're like me, then you're the "mom friend" of the group and this is how it seems to go:

1. There are so many people who have your number for such odd reasons.

Oh, you want to know why your dog is sick so you call me? Well, let's try to figure this out.

2. People always come to you for advice, whether you're close with them or not.

It's like they never question whether they trust you or not... just that they know they can.

3. You're the person they call when they're all drunk.

*phone rings at 3:00 am* "Hey, can you come get us? Our designated driver started drinking when we got here." If you're lucky like me, though, they automatically know they'll need you and you can go to the party to get in all the pictures and snapchats.

4. People always came to you when they needed something for a headache or a cough during school.

You never left without it, because you never know when someone walking down the hall would need that Advil or a cough drop.

5. People who barely know you know that you're "that friend."

"That" friend will always try to save the day.

6. When something was wrong or someone was hurt, you'd be one of the first ones to find out.

I'm going to school to be a nurse, I'm not there... yet; but since I'm already here, let me see if there's anything I can do to help.

7. You always kept the necessities on you at all times.

Necessities: gum, chapstick, a pen, a lighter, makeup, something to drink, a snack, and a few dollars.

8. You were the person your friend's parents always loved... so you always had to be the cover up.

"Hey, I'm telling my mom that I'm going to the movies with you but really I'm going with that guy from the fourth period."

9. When push comes to shove, you have a lot of friends in high and low places.

You can go anywhere and know anyone. Someone will ALWAYS have your back and they will always remember what you did for them.

10. Lastly, when you're given the option NOT to be the mom friend for the night... you're insulted.

You wouldn't trade your "mom" life for anything. It's a good feeling knowing you're the reason they got home safe, survived a mental breakdown, and were able to eat lunch that day.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that being the "mom" friend isn't always a bad thing. It means they trust you, you're a good person, and they know that you're dependable. Be grateful they chose you!!

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.
