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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
