27 Signs You're The Ted Mosby Of Your Friend Group

A year ago, my best friend and I were laughing and talking about one of our favorite television shows. We somehow reached the subject of which of these characters were the people in our friend group. My best friend's was obvious: Barney Stinson.

We laughed at this conclusion for a while before I asked, "well which do you think I am?" I could be the career-driven yet quirky Robin, or the sassy but wise Lily, or the cuddly, gentle giant Marshall.

Perhaps it was the calligraphy set in the corner, or the wooden sword I'd obtained at the Renaissance Fair leaning against the wall, but my best friend smirked. "Ohhh no," I replied, knowing what she was thinking.

"Oh yes." Ted Mosby. The glass shattered, and the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

Here are some of the signs that you might be the Ted Mosby of your friend group:

1. Not only have you been to the Renaissance Fair (on multiple occasions), but you also have at least one item from said Renaissance Fair.

2. You cannot resist making terrible puns.

3. You speak your mind, even when you probably shouldn't.

4. Your insults are flawless.

5. You love living alone, but probably shouldn’t because you’re a liability.

6. Decision making involves making a list of pros and cons.

7. You are a grammar nazi . . .

8. . . . and you can’t resist correcting your friends.

9. You can be incredibly annoying at times. Thank goodness your friends still love you.

10. You spew random fun facts on every road trip. Every. Single. One.

11. You make the best out of being a third wheel.

12. You love fanny-packs. Let's face it: they are super convenient.

13. You listen to 500 Miles on loop on previously mentioned road trips, and you jam just as hard the 500th time as you did the first.

14. Texting is not your forte.

15. Sometimes you lose sight of where you're going . . .


16. But at the end of the day, you are a complete hopeless romantic, no matter how many times you deny it or try to change it.

17. Nearly all of your decisions are made on impulse.

18. You say the wrong things at the wrong times.

19. You are the mom/dad of the friend group.


20 .You say stupid things on occasion.

21. You don't always make the best decisions.


22. You have no shame.


23. You are single 90% of the time but give the best relationship advice.

24. Your stories are ridiculously long because you refuse to omit (what you see as) the important details.

25. The past you is even more embarrassing than present you.

26. You spend hours upon hours practicing important presentations, only to forget something very simple.

27. You will do absolutely anything for the people that you love.

If you related to these, congratulations! You are the Ted Mosby of your friend group.

Own those red cowboy boots.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
