10 Reasons Why Having Guy Best Friends Can Be Better Than Having Girl Best Friends
Ronnie Schoen

I love my girl best friends. They're amazing and I wouldn't trade them for anything. However, I'm lucky enough to have two of my best friends be guys. Guy best friends have advantages that girl best friends just don't have, so here is 10 reasons why guy best friends can be better than having girl best friends.

1. They listen to your problems and can give objective advice

While girl best friends have been hearing about this problem from the beginning and have some emotional investment in the matter, guy best friends will be able to give you advice that is more objective and will know if you're being completely irrational.

2. They give really good hugs

If I haven't seen my male best friend in a long time I will run and jump on him with a big hug. If I tried to do that with my roommate she'd probably fall over.

3. They know you'll get your way

You want a rom-com and your girl best friend wants a drama? You won't end up watching everything. You want a rom-com and your guy best friend wants an action movie? You watch a rom-com.

4. They'll always walk you home

Walking back to your dorm at night when you're a small girl is kinda scary. Luckily my guy best friends will walk me back from their place, no matter how far away it is.

5. You'll always have a date to any formal*

Even if you don't have that special someone, you'll never have to worry about going alone.

*This also applies to Orthodox shabbats.

6. You'll always have someone to watch football with

My girl best friend barely knows what a touchdown is, and refuses to watch football even when her family are huge football fans. But when I'm with my guy besties they're always down to watch football or hockey with me.

7. There's nobody who looks better in these festive Christmas vests... And although they may not like this pic, they still let me post it


The best part is they're Jewish!

8. They can always make you laugh, even when your female friends can't


Even if it means pieing them in the face, they'll do anything to make you laugh.

9. They'll be your wingmen if you're their wingwoman

Hey ladies, they're single!

10. They've always got your back


You never have to worry about them being fake friends. You know that they're your true friends and they'll always be there for you.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
