When You're The Weird Friend

Stay strange, my friends

When You're The Weird Friend
Daily Beast

If you're the one of the group that is constantly making weird faces, you're probably the weird friend.

If you frequently talk in different accents, quote random movies, skip while your other friends walk, burst into song and don't care who hears, you're probably the weird friend.

If you mind has a thousand thoughts per second, non of which have any correlation to each other, but somehow to you, they make all the sense in the world, you're probably the weird friend.

If you laugh a little too hard, talk a little too loud, and sing a little too much, more than likely, you're the weird friend.

If your life depended on it, you can't keep a straight face for more than thirty seconds.

Your friends probably have more than enough blackmail photos of you doing something embarrassing (or wearing something embarrassing...or both).

Your friends just roll their eyes (in a loving way of course) at and chalk up all your oddities to: "Only you would do/say that."

But weird friends are the best friends.

Weird friends aren't afraid to look a little silly or go out on a limb. Weird friends won't judge you about embarrassing moments because been there, done that.

Weird friends may not always have the most 'appropriate' things to say, but they're always down to make you laugh if you're feeling blue.

Weird friends may not have the best concept of boundaries, but they'll be more than willing to share their food, clothes, or even toothpaste if you ever need it.

Sure, we can be a little embarrassing in public places (my future kids will probably act more mature than I will, but it's fine).

Do we often get a little too TMI? Maybe.

Without a doubt, we get into some of the most awkward situations you'll ever hear about (once I thanked someone that I was holding the door open for--that is my life in a nutshell).

But if you're ever in need of an emergency dance party, you know who to call.

So if you've been dubbed 'the weird friend', embrace it.

If, more often than not, you get confused looks or blank stares to whatever you say, just go with it.

You're the weird friend, the awkward friend, the friend who often spills things.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
