You’re the one who leaves the party/bar when someone gets too drunk– Whenever someone gets to having too much fun at the bar or a party, you’re the one who leaves with them. Someone’s puking in the bathroom at the bar? You’re probably trailing right behind them to hold their hair. Someone’s passed out in a corner of a frat party? You’re picking them up and dragging them to the taxi.
You’re the advice columnist– If your friends are having trouble with just about anything, you’re the person they go to for help. They don’t know whether or not to skip class to get Chipotle? They’ll ask you for your opinion because if they have your approval, it can’t be a horrible idea. Should your friend break up with their boyfriend? Should they drunk text him? Should they change majors? These are decisions you help them to make since you’re probably the most level-headed person and they trust your advice.
You’re the one who’s low-key addicted to wine and The Food Network– To submerge yourself into the true role of being the mom friend, your life has to come packed full of wine and quality cooking show marathons. On the rare times you get blackout drunk, it was probably due to some Sangria or Moscato. On Sunday afternoons, people will most likely find you curled up in your bed eating diet popcorn while binge watching Iron Chef America or Chopped.
You’re the one who’s constantly nagging– “Do your homework so we can go to the mall,” “You better study for your Italian test so you don’t fail this one too,” “Can you PLEASE clean your side of the room?! I can’t live like this!” are all things you probably catch yourself saying a hundred times a day to the people you live with or your best friends. You want everything to run as planned and everyone to do their best in a timely manner.
You’re the one who is always saying “text me when you get there” or “are you alright?”– Sometimes constantly asking your friends if they’re okay annoys them, but would you even be a good friend if you didn’t notice every time they were sad? “Text me when you get there” is a common request put onto your friends anytime they drive long distances, go home for the weekend, or even just go on short car rides through sketchy neighborhoods at night. You want to make sure everyone arrives in one piece and you want to keep your friends safe from all harm. The nagging and constant need to know if you’re okay is only because you love them, of course!
