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

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.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
