If Your Boyfriend's Best Friend Is A Girl

It's not what you think it is, I swear.

What is a best friend? A best friend is someone you can trust and confide in. A best friend is someone you can lean on and expect to have your back when no one else does. A best friend is there for you when you have a bad day and need a person to vent to. That is what a best friend is.

For those of you who have one, you know what it's like to depend on that friend and how twisted your world would be if you didn't have them anymore. So, you have your best friends and your boyfriend has him, but what if his best friend was a girl?

Before you judge us, know that we, the girlfriends, are not the jealous type and we're not insecure. We are very comfortable with ourselves, but there's just one thing that drives us crazy and makes us wonder. When we have a bad day or we are upset, we expect our friends to comfort us, be real and honest, and maybe sometimes give us a hug when we need it. We also expect and hope for the same thing from our boyfriends. But what if she does that for him? What if she is his support system, his pick me up, and a hug when he has a bad day? Are you OK with that? Am I OK with it?

Like I said, we're not going to go through his phone and be nosey because that's not who we are. We care about him and honestly, it's not the fact that he has this best friend that's a girl, it's the fact that you want to be the female figure in his life that he depends on and goes to when he needs the comfort. Is that so wrong? So before you go and judge a book by its cover, realize that we're not here to rat on guys for having girls as best friends, we're here to share that it is not easy and is something that we will deal with, but something that hurts.

So what did you think I was going to write about? How are we just a bunch of jealous girls who want to control our boyfriend's friends? That we would rather have our boyfriends at home with us, rather than living his life? No. Like I said, that is not us and that is not who we are. So, do not be so quick to judge. It's like second grade when your best friend finds a new best friend and suddenly, you are left in the dark. You are happy for their happiness, but it still hurts that they forgot about you.

Best friend, we appreciate your kindness and we appreciate you wanting to be that best friend. We appreciate you and your kindness. We appreciate you devoting your time and patience because that is something that we will never forget. But best friend, go find a new best friend that isn't my boyfriend.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
