The Best Guy Friend

I hate that I even have to say "guy" because you're just my best friend.

The Eighty 8

I know this article probably sounds like it will be like a million other articles, but it's not. Why? Because my best friend is better than yours. And my best friend is a guy. Literally, EVERYONE thinks that we are dating or like each other but I can assure you that, that is the farthest thing from the truth. This is not a situation where I feel like we are just best friends now who are eventually gonna end up together, and we do not have a marriage pact for if we are single when we are 40. We really are just best friends. And I would never want any one else as my best friend.

We have known each other for almost 13 years now. We have seen each other go through more awkward phases than I actually care to admit; like when I thought it was a good idea to be bleach blonde (it wasn't)... So when I found out he was moving to my hometown, we instantly starting hanging out and it was pretty awesome.

It started out as us just going out to bars and hanging out. I would be his "wing girl" when he saw a pretty girl and vice versa. Eventually, he was the person I went to when I was having any problems with guys. After that, he was there for all my problems. And again vice versa.



We literally are to the point now where we have entire conversations in GIFs, and they are pretty great. We know exactly when the other person is just not doing okay, and we are always there to send the right meme when someone needs to be cheered up.

I think we take more selfies than anyone I know. We also probably brunch more than your average person should. But we are always there to help each other out, even if it just involves getting the other person a drink and letting them vent their life. Oh and did I mention brunch...

I know what you're thinking, yeah you guys are probably gonna date. But I really don't see that in our future, and neither does he. Probably the most normal best friendship you could ever have. So much so that we are like brother and sister, which would make it SUPER weird to date. We are go-to wing-men and the best of friends.

To end this, THANK YOU to the best friend ever. You make the world suck a little less, and I will always be your wing woman.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
