12 Signs You're The Phyllis of Your Friend Group
Fanpop

Everyone wants to be the Kim, or the Chandler, or sometimes even the Michael Scott of their friend group—everyone thinks they’re the funny one or hot girl or quirky guy or charismatic squad leader. But we all know not everyone can be the Uncle Jesse or the Daenerys or the Poussey of the group. Sometimes, you just have to be the Phyllis—the seemingly quiet, unassuming, middle aged Phyllis Vance--and here are 12 reasons why that's awesome.

1. You have some motherly habits that makes you the perfect “mom” of the squad.

(#fairysquadmother)

2. Like your habit of doling out perfectly timed bits of deep, sage wisdom.

3. But there are always those moments (like maybe after a few drinks at the club) where you let loose.

Leading a dance down the wedding aisle perhaps?

4. Your shy and quiet demeanor can lead people to believe that you’re weak, but you can cut deep with the few words you do say.

5. You dread exercising, unless there's something in it for you.


6. If one of your friends is in trouble, you’re more than willing to do anything to protect them.

7. Fashion sense: you shut. it. Down.


(or so you think)

8. You always keep it real with your….assets.

9. Everyone wants to be you, but there's just no replacing the original.


10. Sometimes, you're just too damn #relatable for your own good.

(like those Sunday nights where you realize you slept the weekend away)

11. You take your time in affairs of love; there's no rushing perfection.

12. And if you've ever found yourself at this point in your life, you know that you are truly a Phyllis.

In conclusion: Phyllis is the person that everyone should strive to be, the woman no man deserves, the hero of this decade. Be proud of your Phyllis status. #I'mAPhyllis

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
