10 Things You Know If You're One of the Guys

There's no stronger bond than the one between a girl and her group of boys.

10 Things You Know If You're One of the Guys

1. Your sleepovers consist of almost entirely if not only boys

But there's just as much gossip!

My mother once told me she had an epiphany half way through one such slumber party and said, "I didn't think anything of it but I realized you were actually having a sleepover with 4 boys and how normal that is."


2.They are referred to as "your boys"

Or "your harem" if you're my mother...

That group of guys will always be associated with you and your love for them. When lost in a crowd, you look for your boys.


3. You're somehow the mom and the little sister of the group

4. People think you're either dating or related

5. You all kind of become one person

You exchange mannerisms and catchphrases until you all communicate with looks and weird meme references. Hilarious to you, but impossible to follow from any other perspective.

6. More than one of their girlfriends has been threatened by you

It makes sense... No girl likes to see their boyfriend be super close with another girl, but you laugh anyways because you know it isn't like that.


7. CUDDLES

8. Going on 'dates' with all of them as a group.

9. Late night therapy sessions

I've gotten many a "Come inside" text from my mother waiting up for me. It's not that I'm not home, I'm just sitting in the driveway talking about dumb boys so that my other dumb boy can give me advice, and vice versa. The emotional support that thrives in opposite sex friendships is something to appreciate.

10. You're the happiest when you're with them

They know all of your quirks, inside jokes, and favorite things and you know theirs. No group of girls could ever make you feel the way your group of goofy boys can. Through and through you stick together and there's no doubt in your mind that they'll be in your life forever.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
