In every group of friends, each person has a role to play, you may not notice it or not want to admit it, but I promise your role is crucial. Odds are, all of your friends have very distinct and different personalities and each personality is needed to helping you survive in life and to keep balance in your wolf pack. Take a minute and just think about your own individual friend group and why it is important to have these girls by your side. I have learned that these girls, no matter how insane they are, are needed to find balance. I’ve taken it upon myself to define the seven different types of friends that are undoubtedly found in your friend group at any given time.

1) The Party Animal

She’s always down for a good time, she is the friend who when you did bad on a test already has a glass of wine waiting for you and has already made plans to go to happy hour. Her motto is “friends who go out together, stay together” and suffers from a severe case of FOMO. When everyone else says no, she says yes.

2) The responsible one

She is kind of like the angel on your shoulder telling you that what you are about to do is not the best idea. She is the one who is not just in every club, but is the president of it. Her major is most likely something like engineering or biology and her life goals have been laid out since she was seven. She is the kind of friend who will remind you to wear comfortable shoes and always have hand sanitizer. She is needed to be the rational and mature voice when you get your heart broken.

3) The Girlfriend

Ever since you met her she has been in a relationship and it may be with the same guy or with many. She jumps from serious relationship to serious relationship. It amazes you that even when she’s in between relationships, she attracts guys faster than you can even name a guy who thinks you are attractive. This is the friend who will constantly remind you that confidence is key and her pep talks to you before a date could make you want to run a marathon.

4) The Blake Lively

This girl basically runs your group. Hot, always knows what to say, dressed to impress at all times, everyone wants to be her. She is the friend who every boys loves and every girl is jealous of. She attracts people with her bubbly personality and when you walk into a party with her everyone greets her first, but you just can’t hate her because her humility is that of a saint.

5) The Insecure One

You are never really sure how she ended up in your friend group. You learn to deal with her constant whining and self shaming. She is the yellow star burst friend, the one that no one really likes but they deal with her. Many times she is close to the Blake Lively friend because she hopes some of her greatness will rub off on her. No one hates her but no one has time to listen to her sob stories all day... but she is always there and you will never fully understand why.

6) The Mooch

Never go out to eat or to a party with this girl because you will come back broke. She is the girl who will wear your clothes and eat your food and basically take anything that is yours. She has a incredible talent for always having a guy buy her a drink. Her key to success to somehow getting everything from everyone else is still a mystery.

7) The Filmmaker

There is not much to say about this one but she will always make sure that everything she does ends up on snap chat. You can always count on her to document everything that is happening. I mean if it is not on snap chat then did it really happen? When anything funny happens she will be the one that says, " Wait do that again for my snap chat!!".
