Ten Reasons Why Having A Person Is Important

Recognizing the special role our "person" plays in our lives

Ten Reasons Why Having A Person Is Important
Redbubble

The way I've always understood having a "person" is that he/she is the first call you make after you've killed someone, so they can help you drag the body across the living room floor, help you hide the body, help you get the blood off of the floor, and then be your alibi.

After finally finding my person, I realized just how important they are and how much they bring to your life.

1. Hanging Out

You can hang out with each other when you are so irritated with everyone around you and don't know how to deal with people anymore. This works because you don't consider your person to be "people."


2. Complaining

You can complain about all of your problems to them because you know they'll listen, and while they might not have the answer, they'll agree that whatever it is sucks.

3. Your Value

Your person reminds you why you are valuable, especially when you don't feel valuable.

4. Laughter

Oftentimes, your person will be the only one who can make you laugh after a particularly difficult day.

5. A Different Version Of Normal

It's perfectly normal to go over to your person's house or dorm room and just take a nap.

6. Secrets


When you tell a normal friend a secret and ask them to keep it between the two of you, there is almost no guarantee they'll keep the secret. With your person, there are no doubts. When my person says "this has to stay between us..." I always think, 'well duh.' This is because every secret we've shared has stayed that way.

7. Speaking Of Sharing...

Your person is someone you can share 100% of your life with. There are almost no lines in regards to what can and can't be shared.

8. Teammates

No matter what, you and your person are always on the same team. It doesn't matter what it's about or what it would require you to do.

9. You Have Your Own Language With Your Person

There are always certain phrases that you can't use around people other than your person, because they won't understand what you mean. Oftentimes, this is a way you've explained a certain, ridiculous way of feeling to your person, but your person gets it.

10. All in all, your person is the best person you'll ever know. They'll tell you the truth (even when it hurts), they'll love every part of you (even the ones you see as broken), and they'll always be there to help you, no matter how far away they are or what time it is

So, thank you to everyone who is someone's person! We can't wait to grow old and be crazy old people together!

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
