Reasons Your Guy Best Friend Will Always Be #1

If you're a girl without a guy best friend, you should probably go find one because you're missing out on some of the better things of life. Here's just a few of those things.

1. Everything you know about fighting, it comes from him.

Wrestling with your guy best friend is not like wrestling with your boyfriend. The difference? He'll tackle you to the ground and put you in a choke hold until you tap out or your face starts turning blue.


2. Have thick skin? He's probably the reason why.

He's always joking with you and never hesitates to take it too far. I can't count on two hands how many times I've heard "Oh, did you get scared because you looked in the mirror again?" But it's okay because I love him all the same.


3. Need a back up date? He's your go to guy.

He's the guy that you can call and say "If you really love me, you won't let me go to prom solo." And I can promise you, he'll always come through and you'll have more fun with him than the loser who dumped you.


4. No one believes you when tell them you aren't dating.

Yes I love him. No, not like that. We're not dating and never will. Can you imagine dating your big brother? Yeah, well that's what it would be like if we dated. Gross, huh?


5. But that doesn't mean you're not jealous when he gets into a new relationship.

Having to share your right-hand man with another girl? No way. But you'll live and eventually you'll grow to like her because this is someone who understands just how annoying he can really get at times.


6. In a way, he's worse than your dad when it comes to boyfriends.

If you're anything like me, your guy friend is the last one to know about the new guy in your life and you sometimes wonder if you should tell him at all. Telling him usually means a full interrogation. But hey, he only means well.


7. He can see a guy's true intention before you can.

My best friend would be the first to tell you that I never listen to him, and I would be the first to tell you that he loves to say "I told you so." Your guy friends can always tell if another guy is serious or just wasting your time, don't take him lightly when he says to kick a guy to the curb.


8. He's always there to pick up the pieces.

Of course after rubbing it in your face that he was once again right, he's down to listen to you rant and tell you how much better you can do. Let's face it, his pep talks are the best there is.


9. Your parents love him almost as much as they love you.

My parents LOVE my best friend. Actually my whole family does. If we're on FaceTime and they hear his voice, there's a good chance they'll end up having a whole conversation of their own. My parents almost grounded me for not sending enough letters to him when he was in basic training. That's true love.


10. You wouldn't trade each other for the world.

Your guy best friend is the one boy you know you can trust and he'll never break your heart. He's the keeper of your secrets and your favorite person to laugh with. He'll always have your back and stick with you thick and thin. So give your guy best friend a hug and tell him you appreciate him. And just ignore it when he starts picking on you for being so cheesy, because deep down, it made him happy to hear it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
