Being away from your mom is one of the hardest and most exciting parts of college, but being away from her doesn’t mean she won’t continue to be a huge part of your life. I’m sure we can all agree that some of the best day-makers are random texts from Mom that are either mortifying or completely hilarious. Here are some classic examples.
The “Just checking to see if you’re still alive” text
It’s Sunday morning, and your mom is basically just assuming you’ve been doing crazy, illegal things all weekend. She doesn’t actually care what you’re up to today, or if you plan on coming home in three weeks…she’s only texting you to make sure you’re conscious. Don’t be surprised if she doesn’t respond when you text her back, but if she cared how you really feel today..
The emoji text
You text your mom asking a question, but all you get back is a line of random emojis that don’t make any sense whatsoever because, “These are just so cute & fun!!”
The “I just stalked your Facebook” text
One second she’s asking about your classes and the next she’s asking about some guy you took a picture with and, “No, Mom, he’s just a friend.”
The picture text
No words, no explanation at all, just a picture of your dog, dad, or something else that’s completely irrelevant. Thanks for the update mom, much love!
The “I just stalked your friends’ Facebook” text
Pretty similar to when she stalks your Facebook, except she’s asking for gossip on your BFF’s new boyfriend or something equally as embarrassing.
The acronym used incorrectly text
Remember when your mom thought LOL meant lots of love? Whether she knows how to use acronyms or not, she’s going to keep using them because YOLO.
The “I’m only texting you because I know you’re out” text
If your mom is texting you at 10:30 on a Saturday night asking you what’s up, she isn’t expecting you to say you’re at the library. She has alterior motives for sure.
The completely unreadable text
Your mom sent you something you’ve been trying to decipher for at least 20 minutes until she texts you again saying, “Oops, sorry, I’m trying to figure out how to use Siri!!”
The “I love you” text
Even if she has no idea how to use her phone, and sends you hilarious, embarrassing texts 24/7, you still love your mom. She still loves you too, and she’ll make sure to randomly let you know by telling you to be safe, wishing you good luck on your test, or simply telling you she loves you. Can’t forget about the twelve heart emojis tacked onto the end of her text, either.
