The Dynamics of Every Friend Group

Every Group Has Them

The Dynamics of Every Friend Group

Trust me, if you look at any friend group, you'll find all of these people.

Guys:

1. Friend who instigates

There is always that one guy who feels the need to poke the angry bear. He’ll rile up any one of his other friends to get a reaction or a fight going within the group.

2. The lazy one

In other words, the sloth. There’s one guy who doesn’t seem to move from the couch. He’s there when you wake up in the morning, when you get back from class, and when you get back at night. You always wonder how a person can function in such a way, but they never fail to amaze you with their lax methods.

3. Overly emotional friend

Then there is the kid who always seems to be PMSing. Everything rubs him the wrong way and he’s always the one to vote for the chick flick movie for a good cry.

4. Total goofball

There’s the kid who is never serious. He’s the class clown and the breath of fresh air on a gloomy day. He’s always goofing around and knows just how to cheer you up.

5. The really nice kid

There’s the kid who doesn’t have a mean bone in their body. They always mean well and try to see the best in people. They never want anyone to be upset with them and act as the glue of the friend group trying to keep the peace.

6. The hardo


There is the kid who is a hardo in every way. They are a hardo in the gym, they are a hardo when it comes to school work and even a hardo when it comes to cleanliness.

7. The mooch

There’s the one friend that just loves to mooch off of everyone. They’ll eat your food, wear your clothes and basically just take everything you have.

8.) The ladies man

There’s always that one guy who just knows how to schmooze a lady. They are always surrounded by girls, they just know how to talk the talk.

Girls:

1. The Mom

Every group needs a mom. It’s that one friend that takes it into her own hands to take care of everyone. They are always making sure you have your sh*t together and that you are making the right decisions.

2. The productive one

There’s always that one girl who seems to always be put together. She wakes up early and goes to sleep at a reasonable time, wasting no time in between. She gets what she needs to do, done.

3. The weirdo that takes everything a step too far

You know who I’m talking about. They mean well, yet they always seem to kill the jokes or even take things too far.

4. The advice giver

You always have that one friend whom you always go to for advice. They seem to just know everything about everything and will never steer you wrong. One might call them the voice of reason.

5. The sassy one

There’s that one friend who you know is your go to gal in a fight. She’s really feisty but this works in your favor. She’ll always be blunt with you and her sassiness provides humor for you when directed elsewhere.

6. The crazy drunk

There’s always that one friend who is the first one to the party/bar and the last one out. You’re always taking hilarious videos of them and carrying them home but you still love them.

7. The ditzy one

As much as you love them, they’re just lacking some common sense. They make comments sometimes that make you stop and question whether they have a brain.

8. The mooch

Same as the boy mooch, there’s the one friend that just loves to mooch off of everyone.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
