11 Things That Happen When You Are One Of The Boys

Being one of the guys is the best and worst thing to happen to you. No one ever knows if you're single and every guy you come into contact with gets a background check, but you're lucky enough to have a support system that will always be a phone call away and a consistent wing man.

1. You are not treated like a girl

The line of "friend that's a girl" and "girlfriend" is very clear when you become one of the guys. They don't make any special accommodations for you just because you're a girl. They don't care if the house is dirty or they're dirty. You are in the conversation talking about other girls vulgarly and having input on which girl is hotter. They will tell you like it is and won't sugarcoat anything, like yes that shirt does make you look fat. You never have to impress them by doing your hair or makeup. They might even mistake you for a boy without your "going out mask" on. Just kidding, they're the only boys that see you without make up.

2. Everyone asks if you are dating one of them

You say I love you, bicker, take pictures and hangout all the time...seems like an easy mistake to make. No, grandma that boy in the picture is not my boyfriend. You have to make it clear to the rest of the world that you are single. Them giving you a t-shirt to wear automatically looks like you did the walk of shame. I should just wear a sign that says "these are my guy friends clothes I swear."

3. You have sleepovers on the reg

Its not uncommon to crash at their place after a night out every once in a while. Or every night. You may or may not have a spare toothbrush left there. You waking up next to one of them doesn't scare you because you know nothing would ever happen. Netflix and chill is literally Netflix and chill. Occasional spoon sesh.

4. You start to talk like them

Just like with accents, after you are around someone for a while, you pick up on their mannerisms and sayings. You start saying things that only they say and even things that only their fraternity says. And if you say it around anyone besides them, the response is "I've never heard a girl say that."

5. There are no boundaries

Sex. Periods. Bodily Functions. Details you could've lived your whole life without knowing.

6. Your video games skills improve

You don't want to be that girl, but it just has to happen. In order to save your sanity of watching them play video games for hours, you have to learn how to play. Now getting them to teach you how to play is another story. In the long run, it will help you impress a guy with how well you can play Super Smash Bros.

7. Guy advice about guy problems


What's better advice to get about why he didn't call you than to ask a guy? Knowing what a guy is thinking and his perspective can ease those 50,000 scenarios in your head of why he hit you with the read receipts.

8. Brothers you didn't plan on having

Not only do you have friends, but now you have brothers. They fight with you, pick on you and call you names, but if a boy makes you cry, they're ready to defend you. You can use them to help you move in because you don't feel like lifting things and feel obligated to go support them at sporting events. Most importantly, they are very protective over you.

9. You're automatically a "groupie" of their fraternity

Let's face it, those other fraternities didn't stand a chance. When you hangout with guys in the same frat, it's inevitable you will meet all of their friends and eventually know almost every person in the fraternity. Maybe even being told you should just be in the frat yourself.

10. You have the most fun when you are with them

No matter what you are doing that night, whether it's hanging out or going to a party, there is no doubt that a show will be put on. They're your go-to drinking buddy and will not be embarrassed of your dancing. They're always down to get food and remind you that calories don't matter.

11. The Exception

No matter how much of a "guy" you are, you still won't poop in their house and talk about it. Yes, girls poop.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

two women enjoying confetti

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
