" 1. You&amp;#039;re always the one booking the taxi.\u00A0Whether it&amp;#039;s on the way home or on the way out, it&amp;#039;s you who thought to save a taxi number on your phone and actually take some cash out. Needless to say, you usually end up paying for said taxi. 2. People always want to stay at your house after a night out.\u00A0Who else is going to have a spare toothbrush and pre-buy\u00A0eggs so you can all have a proper breakfast during the debrief?   3. Your bag is so full of odd bits and bobs if feels like you&amp;#039;re carrying bricks around.\u00A0Tissues, pain killers, tampons, snacks. Lots of snacks. 4. Telling your friends &amp;quot;text me when you get home&amp;quot; is etched in your memory just as much as your own birthday. &amp;quot;Seriously though, please let me know what you&amp;#039;re back safe&amp;quot;.   5. It&amp;#039;s second nature to you to grab enough straws, napkins and cutlery for everyone\u00A0when you&amp;#039;re out for dinner - even if it&amp;#039;s just to save everyone else a trip. 6. You&amp;#039;re always doing things &amp;#039;just in case&amp;#039;.\u00A0&amp;quot;I know Emily&amp;#039;s meant to be on holiday, but I should invite her just in case&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m gonna bring an umbrella just in case it rains&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;do you think we&amp;#039;ll need a torch just in case?&amp;quot; etc etc.\u00A0 7. You find yourself asking\u00A0your friends if they\u00A0have enough layers on and if they&amp;#039;re warm enough. Cue the mum of the group\u00A0whipping the\u00A0spare cardigan out of her\u00A0bag (see point 3) and chucking it at them.   8. You&amp;#039;re always early\u00A0to every social event,\u00A0and it&amp;#039;s basically a given that you&amp;#039;re going to be there before everyone else. 9. On that note, you&amp;#039;re used to everyone else being a little bit late now\u00A0and have to try really, really hard not lecture them on how rude it is. Oops.   10. You&amp;#039;ve lost count of how many hairbands you&amp;#039;ve given out to random girls in the toilets\u00A0of nightclubs\u00A0and how many times you&amp;#039;ve held someone&amp;#039;s hair back whilst they throw up. Delightful when you think about it. 11. You&amp;#039;ve started carrying things specifically for certain friends because you know they&amp;#039;re gonna ask if anyone has one.\u00A0Even though you don&amp;#039;t smoke you have a lighter for Lucy, a bronzer for Emily and a lip balm for Alex. Christ. 12. You love a good schedule and need to know what everyone is doing for their birthday at least 6 weeks in advance.\u00A0And when it comes to trying to book a holiday? Dates must be decided on at least 5 months prior to said holiday, obviously.   13.\u00A0You&amp;#039;re sometimes more proud of your friends&amp;#039; achievements than they are,\u00A0and will happily shout about it at the top of your lungs. &amp;quot;Hey barman, can I have two G&amp;amp;amp;Ts\u00A0please? BY THE WAY MY FRIEND JUST GOT A GREAT NEW JOB.&amp;quot; 14.\u00A0You&amp;#039;re usually asleep first and wake up to 882 WhatsApp notifications from your group chat\u00A0and\u00A0individual messages from friends\u00A0when something kicks off. Obviously you need a full recap before you can comment on anything.  15. Oh, and you&amp;#039;re usually asleep first because you know when watching Netflix and actually chilling sounds more appealing than going for drinks\u00A0aka ALL THE TIME. 16.\u00A0You&amp;#039;re GREAT at saving, budgeting and checking the bill,\u00A0and sometimes can&amp;#039;t quite understand why all your friends are so bad at controlling their bank accounts. HAVE THEY HEARD OF INTERNET BANKING? 17. Every friendship group needs the caring one, and you fit that mould perfectly.\u00A0Just as the mum. CUTE.   Follow Dusty on Twitter.
