You have friends and you have blunt friends. There is a huge difference between the two and it is easy to pick out. Sure, you may be able to go to your friend to always make you feel better, but your blunt friend will always be honest with you and lead you down the right path. They are some of the best friends you will ever have.

Everything they have to say about you, they will say to you.

Sure, there may come a time when your blunt friend may say something about you to someone else, but you can be sure that it is nothing you haven’t heard before from this friend. They always tell you what they think and if you think they are talking about you, ask, they will tell you exactly what was said without holding anything back. This makes them some of the most reliable people you will ever meet in your life, you can always count on hearing from them directly on exactly how they feel about you.

You always get the truth, even if it hurts.

You always go to your friends for advice, who doesn’t. When you come to your blunt friends for advice you can bet that you are going to get the truth whether you want to hear it or not. Don’t come to this friend with a problem if you just want to hear the positives because his type of friend is going to give you both sides and more than likely leave you to figure it out for yourself. It isn’t their life; it is yours, therefore your decision. They give you everything, even if it upsets you.

They are always a good time.

You never know what is going to happen with this friend. There is always something different that is going to happen and that is what keeps things interesting. There is never a dull moment with this friend and you never know what crazy adventures you will get into.

They will teach you that it is okay to be yourself without holding back.

Sometimes it is hard to branch out and come out of your comfort zone. When you have a blunt friend, they quickly show you that it is okay to be100% yourself, because that is what they are always doing. There is no reason to hide what you are truly thinking or feeling, so let it out. This friend will show you that being yourself is more fun, more honest, and ultimately easier.

You know they are a true friend.

You know you are getting the person that is in front of you at all times. They are blunt and honest and they don’t hide things. You know they will always be there for you and always have your back no matter what. They keep you grounded and on the right path but also always keep a smile on your face with their spontaneous nature. Blunt friends are some of the most unique individuals you will ever meet, hold on to yours and never let go.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
