Every friend group has the loud one. The one who is always down to do something crazy. The one who everyone points to when there is a dance circle and no one is in it. Well, being that friend is the most fun anyone can ever have.

That friend is always down for a fun time. Whether it be going to that one guy’s house with all of the girls to hang out. Or maybe going to a Mexican restaurant and telling the waiter that it’s your best friend’s birthday. He doesn’t have to know that it isn’t for another six months. Hey, she was having a bad day and it’s your job to make her happy. You never know what the loud friend is going to do, but you know it’ll be silly and fun.
But what everyone doesn’t realize is that being the loud friend is exhausting. Constantly being the one down for a good time can really take the energy out of a person. Sure, they’re always down for shenanigans and going on adventures. But, they also love to just sit at home and watch movies.
The loud friend can also be exhausting for everyone else. The loud one is usually an extrovert, so they feed off of other people’s energy. That means that everyone else’s energy can get pretty drained by the loud friend. If you find a friend group that can handle you being crazy, then hold onto them.
Being the loud friend also means that long car rides go through certain stages. The beginning is all hype and the loud friend is in the back seat and is in charge of snacks and telling funny stories to make the time pass. But, about an hour in, you’ve run through your “Seventh Grade Dance Party Playlist” about three times, and if you hear “Yeah!” by Usher one more time, it won’t be your hype up song anymore. Then comes the exhausted stage. The loud friend is trying to keep the momentum up, but when everyone is on that 6 percent grind on their phones, and the driver is already going 10 over the speed limit, you, as the loud friend, must make the hype go on. It is now your job, loud friend, to make this car ride hype again. You have another hour until you get to your friend’s hometown. That means that that hour must consist of nothing but hype. It is your duty, as the loud friend. Pass out some more beef jerky, get the DJ a Sprite, and by golly make that car ride hype again.
The loud friend, like the other friends in the friend group, is crucial. They are the ones responsible for turning a bad day into an amazing night. If you have a loud friend, do not take them for granted. They will always be your biggest fan. If you get an internship, they will tell everyone how proud they are of you. If you are playing an intramural sport, the loud friend will make a sign with your name and number on it and scream for you the entire time. Even if all the loud friend wants to do is go to sleep, they will do anything possible to make you smile. Cherish your loud friend, and don’t ever forget that being the loud friend is the most fun anyone could ever have.
