Why Every Girl Should Have A Guy Best Friend

Aug 08, 2016

Having a guy best friend rocks. Seriously. Believe it or not, it is possible for a guy and a girl to be just friends. Of course, having your girl friends is amazing but there is just something about having a guy as your best friend that is special to have.

Every girl should have a guy best friend and this is why:

1. They'll tell you how it is.

If you want to know how your hair is, how a dress looks on you, if this guy is right for you, your guy best friend won't hesitate to tell you the truth. You may not like the truth but he’s doing it for your best interest.

2. He'll always be down to eat.

You want Chipotle? He’ll be down. Late night food run? Quick text… He’ll be down. Best of all, he never judges how much you eat.

3. He'll help you understand how a boy thinks.

Everyone knows that girls and guys' thoughts are the complete opposite. But thank God for him being able to help you out and understand a guy's mind and reasons behind their actions a little better.

4. He's protective.

He’ll act like a big brother. He can joke around with you but at the end of the day, no one is allowed to mess with you because he’ll be there to make sure of it.

5. He'll give you amazing advice.

He knows how guys work. He knows how you work. He has a way of telling you what you need to hear and helping your problems seem easier to handle.

6. He'll listen to you vent.

As much as he may not want to, and he may even block out what you're saying half of the time, he always lets you vent to him.

7. The hugs rock.

Most guys are great huggers and there is nothing more comforting then your best friend giving you a hug when you're sad or happy.

8. No judgment.

Best of all, having a guy best friend means that you can be your complete self around him 24/7. You don't need to worry about how your hair looks, if your makeup is done or what you wear around him because chances are he doesn't really care. You can be your complete self around him knowing he'll never judge and it's the best feeling ever.

Nothing compares to having a guy best friend. He’ll get to know you better then anyone else and you're completely OK with that because you know he won't hurt you. Your family starts to take him in as their own because of how close you two are. You two have seen each other at your worst and at your best. You know how to pick each other up when you're down and make them a better them.

So thank you to my guy best friend. Thank you for making me feel good when I’m at my worst. Thank you for making me laugh when all I want to do is cry. Thank you for singing at the top of your lungs in the car with me. But most importantly, thank you for loving me for me.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
