7 Signs You're The 'Oblivious Friend' That You Missed Because, Well, You Know

In reality, we just make life really fun.

7 Signs You're The 'Oblivious Friend' That You Missed Because, Well, You Know
Sammie Fairbanks

We all know we have the one friend that is ALWAYS oblivious.

They’re always making life fun though because deep down inside they just have no idea what’s going on at any given moment. You’re probably always losing them or constantly making sure they’re keeping up with the group.

Either way, they make any outing adventurous and a whole lot of fun. So, here’s to those who are blatantly unaware of what’s going on around them at all given time.

1. You don’t know when that guy/girl has feelings for you.

They might have dropped so many hits and a normal person would understand it but you’re so oblivious that it’s probably going to take them hand delivering a note that says “Do you like me? Check yes or no” for you to grasp that they, in fact, do have feelings for you. So, until they’re that painfully obvious you probably won’t be getting the hint anytime soon. We just don’t work that way and we’re really really sorry but just be straight up with us and you’ll be fine.

2. You got from point A to point B but have ZERO idea how.

Do you ever get to an event or friends house, really anywhere, and realize that you have NO idea how you got there? Thank goodness for your friends that are probably type A that have figured out which flight you need to catch, already called that uber and made sure you reached your final destination safe and sound. If it wasn’t for them, would we all really even be alive? Probably not because life is hard when you get somewhere and don’t really know how you got there

3. You’re blonde.

You’re either blonde at heart or blonde in real life but either way, blondes do it better so I’m sorry if you’re not.

4. You’re probably also the grandma/grandpa of the group.


Catch us in bed close to 9 PM and typically trying to get the group home before the party even starts. It’s a little bit exhausting navigating life when you don’t really know what’s going on.

5. You get lost often.

We can often be found wandering aimlessly because we just saw a shiny object or maybe even a squirrel, that’s all.

6. You’re also directionally challenged.

Refer back to point number 2 but let’s just say that directions and maps and geography is just really really hard sometimes. I swear we’re smart but not when it comes to directions.

7. You’re almost always late.


Time is a foreign concept to you and you’re probably really jealous of the people that have a consistent schedule that arrive either early or on time to EVERYTHING! No matter how hard you try, you still can’t manage to get somewhere on time. You’ve bought the watch and set all the alarms but being late is just in your blood.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
