To The Girl Who Loves My Best Friend Next

There are a few things you need to know before you fall in love with him.

First things first, you have to kill the spiders because he absolutely will not under any circumstances.

Don't make fun of his car, or the fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview mirror. Yes, it's an old man car but he loves the Pimp Mobile (yes he will actually call his car the Pimp Mobile, just roll with it).

Have an appreciation for "Harry Potter." If not an appreciation, then at least have seen the movies.

He's going to flirt with the waitress or the girl in the drive-thru, or the old lady standing in front of you in line. He doesn't mean any harm by it and he doesn't love you any less - he just doesn't know how to not be charming.

Understand that he's one of the world's pickiest eaters and will probably (definitely) question half the things you eat. The boy doesn't even eat bacon - trust me, I don't understand it either.

Don't ask him what he thinks of your shoes because if they're not anything Adidas, they're not worth his time. Honestly, if you ask his opinion he'll probably say they're ugly and then you'll be offended so it's safer to just not ask.

He needs to take his space and play his video games sometimes. He gets very excited about them - just wait until the world championship tournament for League of Legends rolls around. But he will text you back, I promise.

He's going to try and create fights with other people that make absolutely no sense to be fighting about. Sometimes, he just really likes to argue so it's usually best to let him blow off some steam and then he won't even remember what he wanted to fight about later.

If you're getting him a drink, don't put ice in it. He'll probably stop asking specifically so just remember to leave the ice.

If you're out somewhere and there's a cat, let him freak out and go pet it because finding a new cat to play with, even for a little, probably just made his day.

He's always hungry for Chinese (I'm talking three in the morning always). If he's having a bad day, or you just wanna surprise him, get him beef and broccoli from a Chinese restaurant but be sure not to mix the rice in with the beef and broccoli and do not, under any circumstances, forget the chopsticks because he will pout.

He's full disclosure. Tell him everything you think and feel because he will do the same for you. Don't push him away. He wants to help and he wants to be there, so let him in.

And most importantly: take care of his heart, if you've got it, because he's such a special person and the best friend I've ever had. Constantly remind him that you care and you're there for him, and be good to him - because he'll be incredible to you. He'll have you laughing on the days you need it most, and he'll always be there for you to fall back on. He deserves so many good things so be what he deserves. Love him 'til he's almost sick of it, and then love him some more because he will do the same for you.

If you don't you get to deal with me.

Sincerely,

A very protective best friend

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
