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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
