I'm The Annoying Indecisive Friend

"I'm cool with whatever you choose to do."

Yes, I admit it--I am the obnoxious annoying friend that cannot make a decision about anything. I'm the person that ALWAYS responds with "it doesn't matter to me, whatever you wanna do" when someone asks me to pick the plans for the night. Someone can even give me 2 choices and I still don't choose. People get so so frustrated with me and I can totally understand why.

You know exactly the friend I'm talking about--we all have them. The ones you play word badminton with until you lose your mind and plan the whole night with a tad of bitterness caused by the indecisiveness of you dearest friend. I give myself a little credit for recognizing my obnoxiousness.

It's even worse when I'm with a friend who is just as indecisive as me. So much time is wasted going back and fourth saying "I don't care we can do whatever you want to do" and "no, you choose I don't want to choose." It's obnoxious and I honestly don't know how or why people want to continue hanging out with me. So I'm taking this time to say I'm sorry to all my friends, you know who you are, who have ever had to deal with with my indecisive annoying ass. I know I piss you off and I am forever grateful that you still want to spend time time with me. You all are the real MVPs.

But seriously, I totally get it. I have friends that are just as indecisive as me and I get extremely frustrated that we literally end up doing nothing or I end picking something and sucking it up. I guess in a way, I have those friends to thank for being equally as frustrating as I am and giving me the push I need to just pick something to do. So, thank you equally obnoxious friends ;).

I've been making it a long term goal of mine to become more decisive in situations and to just choose something. I realize it's probably way more annoying not deciding and wasting time than it would actually picking something and the something not being fun or whatever. I hate being difficult and I know this trait makes me extra difficult so I'm gonna do my best to fix it. And if that doesn't work, I'm just gonna keep thanking all of my friends and show my appreciation.

But hey, at least I don't say "I'm cool with anything" and then not want to do what ends up getting picked. I'm not that obnoxious. I honestly don't know if I would be able to stand myself.

But for real, I am the "shoulder shrugging emoji" on iPhones. So read this article or not. Whatever you wanna do, doesn't matter to me.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
