Why Blunt Best Friends are A Blessing
Facebook

Everyone has their own niche, their own group, their own people. Whether you are an introvert or extrovert, you have people to lean on and who will be there for your best interest all throughout life. There are the quiet friends, the outspoken friends, the friends who let you lead them, and the friends that are always there. Then, there are the blunt friends. These ones are the best...at least mine are.

1.) You never have to worry where you stand with them.

If you tick them off or do something you shouldn't have, you'll know. They'll express their concerns and frustrations with you without hesitation. After all, no friendship can succeed without honesty and openness.

2.) They are honest...sometimes too honest, but still, honest.

They'll tell you if that shade of lipstick doesn't work with your outfit or how you're being stupid running back to that guy that broke your heart. They never fail to tell you what they think of your life and how your living it. And, to you, it matters what they think. They do know you best.

3.) They have the softest hearts...

While they are the most blunt people you've ever met and have the hardest exterior, they are the ones that feel the deepest. They'll cry with you and feel things deeply.

4.) They'll tell you what you need to hear...

Even when you don't want to hear it. Best friends know best and the blunt kind won't sugarcoat anything. Whether you're making bad life decisions or that lipstick doesn't go with your outfit, they'll tell you.

5.) They'll never talk behind your back.

Sure if your best friend group is made up of 3 or 4 gals, then they might share concerns with those in the group. But you can bet that they'll say the exact same thing to your face.

So thank those friends who do these things for you. They will shape your life in drastic ways. I know my blunt best friends have...

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
