10 Things You Never Thanked Your Guy Best Friend For

Teen

Having a guy best friend is definitely one of the better things in life. They're a special kind of friend, not the type you go to Starbucks with (they will, but you'll have to drag them there). Girls who have them know how great they are; they're the best type of friends. Yet, we sometimes forget to thank them for dealing with our craziness. Here are 10 things we’ve never thanked them for.

1. Being completely, utterly, honest with you

Sorry girls, but your girlfriends might say you look great in that dress, but your guy best friend is gonna tell you how you actually look. Good or bad, he’s going to let you know.

2. Basically a personal guy interpreter

Getting mixed signals, weird texts, not even remotely close to understand what this dude is saying? Your guy best friend has it covered. He’ll let you know what this guy actually is saying/wanting. Which is a relief cause we all know we’d never figure it out.

3. A protective brother

Whether you like it or not, he’s going to be protective of you. He’s basically your brother at this point, how can he not be a little suspicious of the new guy you’re talking to? Even the girls who talk about you, he’s going to be protective. Which in the long run, is a great thing.

4. For letting you be one of the guys

Dealing with all the girl crap can get ridiculously tiring. Remember to thank him for letting you roll with the boys.

5. Not causing extra drama in your life

With all the other drama and problems you’re dealing with, he’ll never give you any more. He wouldn’t want to anyway, he’d have to listen to it even more.

6. Dealing with your driving skills

I may have killed us once or twice, and by that I mean maybe a couple of hundred times.

7. Having a good sense of humor

Girls can be so sensitive, it can be hard to joke around. Thanks for letting me throw shots at you, but of course throwing them right back.

8. Being your partner in crime

We all know most of our friends would never be up for the challenge, but your guy best friend always is.

9. For letting you complain

When you just have to talk bad about some dumb girl in you marketing 101 class. I know you don’t want to hear it, but thank you for listening.

10. Helping you out

Whether it's helping you fix your car or your life. Thanks for always helping me out.

11. For just being a damn good friend

Thanks for knowing how crazy I am and still being my friend anyway.

Thanks bro, I appreciate it.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.
