What Happens When You're 'One Of The Guys'

Guys are so much easier to be friends with.

What Happens When You're 'One Of The Guys'
fashiontimes.com

I've never really been able to handle girls for a long period of time without wanting to rip my hair out. We're loud, sometimes emotionally unstable, and way too sensitive for our own good. Most of my friends growing up were guys because they were just so much easier to hang out with, and a lot less judgmental. If you truly became one of the guys, these things have probably happened to you.

You don't have to try hard.

You don't need to look your best when you hang out with them, because there in absolutely no attraction between you at all. You typically wear sweatshirts and no makeup when you're with them, and they're weirded out and caught off guard when they see you in a dress and wearing full makeup.

They're overprotective.

If someone broke your heart, they generally tend to have a nice moment with you about this. He'll compliment you and tell you how great you are, and then end it with an insult, just to ruin the moment.

Nothing is censored.

You don't need to worry about keeping a nice image and not swearing, because they absolutely couldn't care less. Bodily functions are encouraged and praised, and you're really good at belching now.

You've watched and played a lot of video games.

Most of the time I had to watch my friends play Call of Duty, FIFA, Football or Basketball, and they made me play when they needed an extra player. You've seen all sides of the gaming world, and you still don't understand the hype behind it.

You can eat as much as you want.

They actually get impressed when you can keep up with them when you eat, as well as when you're drinking. You don't have to worry about them thinking you're a pig, because they really don't care.

You're the wing woman.

"Hey, have you met my friend? He's super cool, and he thinks you're really cute". Boom. When you aren't at parties, he's asking you to hook them up with one of your friends. Sometimes you come through, sometimes you don't. After all, you don't want one of your few girl friends being mad at you for hooking her up with someone she thinks is a jerk.

They talk to you about women all of the time.

Relationship advice, who they really want to sleep with, who they have slept with, who's being crazy and stalking them, the whole nine yards. The celebrity with the hottest body.

You had sleepovers.

Your parents really didn't mind because they knew you were up all night watching movies or playing video games with people you've known for a really long time, so they weren't worried about anything happening.

They get so surprised when you get a boyfriend.

Like, what? Someone finds you attractive and wants to actually date you? "But, you're like, a dude?" It's a completely foreign concept to them. They also feel like there is a competition for your time, which ends up being the case. Your boyfriend might even be uncomfortable with your friendships because he's jealous or he just doesn't trust them. He ends up coming around most of the time.

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
