I'd choose immature jokes over drama any day

11 Perks Of Being "One Of The Guys"
Morgan Lerch

In high school and now college I've made mostly guy friends. Some girls may think I'm crazy for hanging out with the guys while they play video games for five hours straight but I honestly don't mind. I am in no way a total tom boy and I don't think you need to be to be friends with mostly guys. They are so willing to help with anything and although you may have to fight them for your food there are a few perks to hanging with the boys.

1. You get invited to boys night.

Ah, boys night. This usually consists of a campfire, video game binging, or just going night fishing. For what ever reason they seem to assume that I already know I'm invited to a night with no girlfriends. When, well that just doesn't make any sense. It just proves that they see me as a dude.

2. You never feel unsafe when you go out.

I have never gone to a party and felt unsafe because well I usually show up with a minimum of four guys. The creeps aren't going to go out of their way to hit on the girl that is surrounded by her body guards.

3. Their compliments are always sincere.

Most girls will tell you that something looks nice just to get a compliment in return. I just cannot handle the fakeness of that. If a guy tells you your hair looks nice, well, they actually mean it!

4. You can get them to do girly things with you.

Believe it or not, I got my guy friends into face masks and the Biore pore strips. They love them!

5. They're always down to get food.

It is NEVER too late for pizza and wings.

6. They can't even tell if you're wearing makeup.

I don't know how, but they are totally clueless when it comes to this. So, why waste the time and effort to put makeup on?

7. They're great at giving a guy's viewpoint.

Men and women are practically a different species when it comes to some things. It's nice to have someone with the same brain as your boyfriend to help you figure out what that "K" really means.

8. You will always be entertained.

Some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths....my goodness.

9. They will be there in a heartbeat to save you from trouble.

Whether it be a car that needs towed, you need help moving, or a boy was mean to you. My friends can get protective and will not hesitate to do anything to help.

10. There is hardly any drama.

Girls are catty and we all know it, guys are easy peesy!

11. They prepare you for anything gross or weird any boyfriend could do.

Once you get close with a group of guys, there are no limits on what they will talk about or do in front of you. It's a nice precursor to getting into a serious relationship with someone because well, nothing they say or do will gross you out. You've already been desensitized!

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
