Everyone needs a blunt friend in their friend circle. They kill the room with their witty punch lines but they also know how to cut to the chase when work needs done. They always tell you how it is when you don't necessarily want to hear it. But for the following reasons (and many more) you will forever be grateful for having a blunt friend like them in your friend circle.

1. They Tell It How It Is

Your blunt friend will tell you when you look awful or when you're acting like a moron. Even when it could be upsetting, you can always count on your blunt friend to tell it like it is.

2. They Are Insanely Funny

Blunt people are actually quite hilarious with their solid jokes they come up with. They are smart and witty people after-all, so you know you can always depend on them for a good laugh.

3. They Can Help You Get Your Life Together

When it feels like your life is collapsing down all around you, the last thing you really need is a friend who is going to assure you that you are doing just fine and sugar coating things that should not be sugar coated. You need a blunt friend like them who will tell you what you are doing wrong and how you can fix it.

4. They Dish It Out But They Can Take It

With your blunt friend, you don't have to tip toe around because they literally never get offended. They are great at dishing out insults and sarcasm but they are just as good at taking it right back. They actually will appreciate a well thought out wit and don't mind being the person at the receiving end of the joke.

5. They Never Lie To You

You don't have to worry about your blunt friend trying to deceive you or turning into an enemy. They have no interest in going behind your back, lying to you, or making up lies about you. They are honest with you all the way.

6. They Know How To Reign It Back In

Sometimes blunt friends will end up rubbing people the wrong way because of their sharp and witty honesty. They are smart enough to bring it back down when it is important, so they are totally capable of being nice. And they can get along with just about anyone.

7. They Are Brave To Say The Least

Blunt people do not care who likes them and who doesn't. They are not afraid of what anyone else thinks about them. They will say what they believe and they will not care who disagrees.

So all you really need in your life is someone who is brutally honest, willing to put up with some crap, and who has a good sense of humor and you will have the perfect blunt friend. It is also a bonus if you have a co-worker who is blunt because your shifts will go much faster. So do not be afraid to try to be friends with someone who is blunt, because trust me, you will not regret it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
