An Open Letter To All My Guys Friends

Glad To Know I'm "One Of The Bros"

An Open Letter To All My Guys Friends
Den of Geek

Recently on Twitter, I noticed girls tweeting or retweeting things that make them appear crazy, obsessive and/or demanding. I truthfully don’t think appearing crazy is a good thing and anyone who demands a boy to bring them expensive gifts all the time needs a reality check. Luckily, I grew up being good friends with boys and learned how to be one of the “bros.” From this, I learned how to avoid all of these terrible qualities girls possess (THANK GOD).

To the boys who never took it easy on me during soccer and basketball games, God bless you. I worked so hard to be treated as an equal to the opposing gender and I’m happy you realized I will walk all over you if you treat me “like a girl.” You began to hang out with me and sometimes I was one of the few girls and sometimes I was the only girl, but you knew I wouldn’t act differently either way. In high school, I became more of a girl, and you (thankfully) realized I was still the same person.

You all asked me about girls and how to handle certain situations, so I told you the secrets you needed to hear. When I was struggling with boys, I would come to you and ask for opinions and suggestions. When my heart was broken, you boys came through and were there for me. Unlike girls, you told me how to handle it and not to “smash his window with a bat, girl.”

Don’t get me wrong though, as much as I loved you guys, I hated when you went after my girl friends. I know you don’t think most of the time, but c’mon! It's so awkward when you guys end, but I did befriend your ex's, so I suppose I evened out the playing field.

You were all my escape from girls and honestly, I needed it sometimes. Even though none of you actually have a brain yet, I know one day you’ll make a woman very happy considering I yelled at you every time you f*cked up with a good girl. So, this first article is for you, the boys who saved and made me into the non-crazy girl I am today.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
