7 Reasons Why We All Need A Weird Friend
Abbie Altimirano

We all need a weird friend in our life. Weird friends provide so many great qualities in a relationship and make life a little bit more fun. Whether you are considered the "weird friend" or you for sure have one these kinds of friends, here are some of the reasons why everyone should find themselves their own weird friend.

1. It is never boring time:

Whether they are dancing around the room in a crazy outfit or telling a strange joke that makes everyone uncomfortable, you know you will always be entertained by them. Weird people have so many quirks and hidden talents up their sleeve. There are always so many new things to learn about them.

2. They are a great mood booster or pick me up:

Whenever you are down or not in your best mood, your weird friend is always there to cheer you up. They can always make you laugh or bring a smile to your face whenever you need it. They are the people you can count on for a perfect venting sesh or way to get everything off your mind.

3. You can always count on them to kick in their weirdness so other people wont bother you:

There is always that unwanted visitor, and whether it be the annoying girl from class or the creepy guy at the party, your weird friend is always there to help out the Squad by keeping them away. They are great at knowing how to make conversations uncomfortable and having the weirdest faces/body movements to keep the unwanted visitors away.

4. They inspire you to be different rather than going with the flow:

A weird friend is a great inspiration in your life. They teach you that it is OK to not always do whatever everyone else is doing, and that being yourself is what really matters. They are fully themselves, and it makes you feel like you can be completely yourself too.

5. They always have the best dance moves:

Lets face it, weird friends kill the dance game. They are always making up new moves and having the time of their life while doing them. They don't care who is watching and you can always count on them for a great dancing partner.

6. They are a breathe of fresh air:

Weird friends are unique and not like most friendships. They tell you how it is, are always being themselves without holding back, and go to the beat of their own drum. You can always count on weird person to tell you how it is and give the best advice. Getting help and having a person in your life who is generally not held down my society's standards is the best kind of person to have in your life.

7. You know can always be your weird-self with them too:

Everyone always has a little bit of weird in them. Having a person who is just as weird as you makes everything more fun. You never have to hold back or worry about someone else judging, because as long as they're by your side it doesn't matter.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
