9 Reasons Why You NEED a Sidekick

When you run out of gas.

Personally, this has only happened to me once in my life. I’m quite responsible when it comes to filling up my tank, but if YOU do run out of gas, make sure you have a sidekick.

You run out of toilet paper...on the toilet.

Now this one, I’ve experienced on several occasions. Whether at home, or in a public stall, we have experienced the last sheet of toilet paper problem. So, if you’re in this predicament, it’s always good to have a sidekick bring you a new roll.

When you're hanging a big frame in your new apartment.

Sure, all of the independent people out there can do this on their own, but what if you drop your nail? Your sidekick will be there to hand you a nail before you drop the sizable frame on your big toe.

When you need your opinion on the debate validated.

"Wait. Hey Sidekick, did Trump just interrupt Hillary 5 billion times? Did he just talk about Rosie O’Donnell during the presidential debate? Ummm… Sidekick, why is Hillary smiling like that? She’s scaring you too, right?"

When you're too drunk.

We’ve all been here. We all have that one sidekick to look out for us when we get sloppy or vice versa. Let’s take a moment to appreciate our sidekicks for saving us on multiple occasions…….

When you need a wing-man.

You’re feeling lonely, or old and need a night out on the town. Well, you need a sidekick to help your nervous self when talking to a girl or a boy. Nobody can do this one alone—successfully. So, grab your sidekick and get out there!

When you need your first like on Instagram or Facebook, but it's not happening.

Okay, you know you don’t want to admit that this has happened, but let’s be real, it has. If you have a sidekick, you don’t have to worry because they will like your post if need be.

When you lock yourself out of the house.

Well, your sidekick should always have your spare key and since he/she is obviously always with you, you should never have to worry about this issue.

When you lose your debit card.

Always, always bring your sidekick to the bar. You never want to have to stiff the bartender and your sidekick is nice enough to pay the bill, trusting that you will pay him/her back!

Okay, so we’ve established that your sidekick is extremely important in your life. He/she is there to help you during the good, the bad, and the ugly. However, this is the most important thing to know before you decide to find your sidekick: Your sidekick is not your B**CH. You are there to be their sidekick in the same way that they are to you. It’s a two-sided relationship, so be prepared for responsibility!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
