10 Reasons Every Girl Needs a Boy Best Friend

Every girl who has a boy best friend knows it's the best kind of friendship. It's just like having another brother who's there to take care of you, make fun of you, and make you laugh when you need it the most. There's no reason why you shouldn't have a boy best friend, but here are 10 reasons why you should.

1. First and foremost, they're protective.

Like I said, having a boy best friend is like having a brother. And brothers are always looking out for their sisters. They're here to protect us in this cold world in which we live.

2. They bring you back to reality.

Let's face it, we're girls—we can be a little overdramatic. They let us know when we're acting crazy.

3. They offer insight you don't have.

They know boys—they are boys. They'll be straight up about a guy you're interested in and they'll explain the way boys think.

4. You get the chance to just be a dude.

Nobody chills harder than boys. Just sit back, watch a stupid movie with them, and enjoy the simplicity.

5. They're not judgmental.

For once, you don't have to worry about what you're wearing and putting makeup on. They couldn't care less about how dolled up you are.

6. They aren't afraid to be honest.

We gossip all of the time; the boys I know couldn't care less about who's dating whom and who's no longer friends. They'll tell you when you're being stupid and petty.

7. You get to laugh at them and their friends.

Listening to boys having a conversation is fun all in itself. They are so simple and so savage at the same time; they're not afraid of saying anything. Just sit back and listen for your enjoyment.

8. You can use them to get rid of a creeper.

People already assume you're a couple when you go out in public. Hang around them all night and the creeper will most likely assume the same thing and move on.

9. You can make fun of each other with zero consequences.

A lot of the friendship is giving each other crap for stupid things. It's fun and actually endearing.

10. Last but not least, you've got a friend for life.

The bond between a girl and her boy best friend cannot be broken; it is one of the truest friendships. Congratulations, you have a brother and a best friend for life.

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.
