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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
