Why Having A Boy Best Friend Is So Important

Molly Ault

Growing up, my best friend was a boy. He was always by my side. We never had any problems. We were together almost every day. I never realized how much he meant to me until it was too late.

On October 30, 2015, he was killed instantly when a drunk driver crashed into his house. I never thought it would happen. I have never been the same since that day. I never realized how much of an impact he had on my life until he was gone. He made me a better person. I never lost what he taught me. He taught me that life is too short and you have to make the most of it. He taught me to make the most of every day. He taught me to never give up.

About a year later, I became super close with my now 3 best friends. I have known them for a while, but never really conversed with them. The day I did, was one of the best decisions I ever made. They have also taught me so much. Having a boy best friend is so important for SO many reasons.

1. They have NO drama

No matter what is going on in their lives, they never make it a bigger deal than it actually is. They really just don’t care about what other people think about them. They go with the flow and just live life.

2. They ALWAYS know what to do to make you feel better.

Yes, it does take them a while to get used to having a girl best friend. After that time, they will become your go-to person. I’ve been best friends with them for about 6 months and I don’t think there has been a single thing then they couldn’t help me with.

3. They become your family

Sure, even a girl best friend can become your family, but the relationship you have with him will be like no other.

4. Hanging out

This was one of the hardest things for me to adapt to. I always felt awkward, but then you become a major part of each other and it’s just like hanging out with anyone else. People start to assume things than you are dating when you spend one on one time with each other, but it becomes very easy to ignore them after a while.

5. They help you come out of your shell

Being best friends with 3 boys is NOT easy, but they bring out the best in me. If it weren’t for the three of them, I don’t know where I would be. They make everyday living so much easier and they bring more light to my day.

So, with all of this being said, I’m not trying to tell you that if you don't have a boy best friend, all I’m saying is that you should get one because they will make your life so much better.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
