11 Reasons Why Having A Blunt Friend Is Important

Everyone has that one friend who always voices exactly what they're thinking. Telling you to change the outfit that isn't doing you justice, or to break up with that f*ckboy that's continually breaking your heart.

Personally, there is nothing better than being that friend. Helping you pick up the pieces to your puzzle is what we're good at. We refuse to live in the shadow of another person because we just find it boring. Our minds are intrigued with a lot you may not understand, but our hearts are always in the right place.


1. We tell you how it is

We don't tell you something isn't right if it's not. We'll pull you aside and tell you when the guy you're drooling over at the bar isn't worth your time. We know when you're acting like yourself and when you're not just because other people are around. We know the colors and styles that best fit you and you can always take our word for it. In simpler terms, if the dress doesn't fit, don't wear it.

2. We know what we want

We don't tolerate people or minuscule things that are by any means not good for us and we're proud to say so. If you say something we don't like or screw us over in some tacky fashion, we'll leave you with our classy thoughts about it. BUT we won't stop to throw a pity party for you or ourselves. AKA, don't mess with our friends either.

3. We're determined

We have ambition. We have those dreams that people tend to roll their eyes at with the popular "good luck" in return. The only thing we doubt is the person that tells us we can't achieve what we want, and we'll kindly let them know that. We push our friends to be the same kind of person that believes you can have whatever you want.

4. We don't chase other people

We'll make fun of you for constantly going back to that ex that's cheated on you more times than we both can think of. Regardless, we'll still always be there with a bottle of wine and a pint of Gelato to make up for the stupid mess he created. We'll bad mouth him with you and continue to go on about how you can do much better.

5. Being ourselves is what we're good at

We don't dance on bars if we don't want to. But if you do, we'll tell the DJ to play your favorite song.

We don't sleep with the guy we just met if that's not what we're into. But if you do, we'll be your driver the next morning laughing about the stupid things you said...or did.

And we certainly don't talk negatively about other people just so we can fit in. We don't have time to criticize and judge other people when we know they're too busy trying to be themselves in the very same respect. Friends don't diss other friends.

6. Uncomfortable is not in our vocabulary

We love ourselves because we're comfortable in our own skin. We love the fact that we're brave enough to say exactly what's on our mind. When a friend of ours seems out of place, we get them right back into their element, no questions asked.

7. We have Chronic B*tch Face

It is a real thing, and it's so dangerous when it comes to first impressions. Many people think we're always bitter about something. Intimidating is our middle name and it's fully realized with our facial expressions. Friends help us out in this aspect when we don't realize the attitude on our face needs put in check. Give and take, right? Thankfully, we're satisfied with the way life is playing out 99% of the time.

8. If we aren't satisfied we change something

We in fact DO cry, we are real humans and we do feel pain. We get sad over just as many little things that make us happy. We're okay with letting it out when we need to, but we're never down for the count. We know how to pick ourselves back up and transition into a different atmosphere. This being said, we don't ever plan on leaving your side because you're having a hot-mess of a week. We've been there.

9. We like adventure

We want to go places. Seeing new things is what makes us tick. We'll be there for you when you want to get away from town and see new sights in a different state, or when you want to just take a 30 minute walk to get ice cream. We get overly excited when you get asked to go on dates that require real interaction. Netflix & chill has never been, and will never be, a thing for us.

10. When we tell you we love you, we mean it

Being a blunt person can be hard when we're trying to express emotion and we have to tell someone something they don't want to hear. In the opposite, when we tell you we care, we mean it. When we tell you that you're our best friend, we mean it.

11. Success is on our minds 99% of the time

We don't half-ass anything, including our friendships. If something needs to be said or done, we'll do it. If we screw up, there is no hesitation for an apology. We want to do more than just the entry-level position we attain right out of college. Whatever our friends want our of life, we'll continue to help them take the right steps to get there. We'll push you forward not backwards.

We're just outspoken and we're okay with it.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
