"An open mind is the secret in making friends" - Lee Seunghyun
Friends...they come in all different shapes and sizes, all full of character. Some will be more memorable than others and you may get closer to a few. Since people are so unique, it would be hard to classify them since they have diversity within their own characters. Here are 11 of the many friends that you will meet in this life and as you can see, some may overlap. The bigger question, however, is are you one of them?
1. The “it’s time to get ya life together” friend
This person is all fun and games and even when they get hurt, they will get up and it’s fun and games again. Also known as the chronic procrastinator. Plan their funeral and they will show up the day after the burial. You will be saying “get your life together” more than “hello” to this person. Their whole life is similar to the aftermath of a hurricane. Sometimes they are unaware of the mess they're in, so feel free to reach a hand out. That's what friends do anyway.
2. The “tea” friend
This friend has every tea bag, from the flavors, “He said, She said” to “I know what they did last summer.” They can be considered the nosey friend because they seem to know so much business that they can call themselves an entrepreneur. They smell when someone has been cheating and the best part is that they will share the “tea” with you, because sharing is caring!
3. The “YOLO so IDGAF” friend
This friend lives and breathes YOLO while not giving a fuck. Yes, that skydiving video you saw was theirs, and they will be trying out parkour next week for the first time. Sometimes they come in the tame form of "The Life of the Party" and more extreme forms like streaking through Times Square. Either way, they teach you that there is more to life than work and school and that it’s okay to break loose and have fun.
4. The “always broke” friend
They don’t know what money in abundance is. Never seen it, never smelt it, never even touched it because either they never had enough to begin with or it was traded for something else the minute they got it. They tag along in hopes that you will pay, and if they always say yes when you offer to pay for their stuff, you have a broke friend. Thinking about ordering from the Dollar Menu in McDonalds? Forget it! You are better off buying a Cosmic Brownie because you are going to have to split a Washington so both of you can eat.
5. The “glass castle” friend
Their business is out there and you hear it more than the Kardashians. They took a poop at 10 in the morning and you’ll hear about it by 10:30. They popped the pimple on their butt and you get full-on details about how much it dripped white before the blood came around. You can call this person TMI because they are always talking about the things that people didn’t ask about. If they go missing, people could give the police more information than asked for.
6. The “everybody’s friend” friend
This person is friends with everyone and is overtly gregarious. Show people a picture of this friend and the Mona Lisa side by side and the results would be that more people recognize this friend. Bring them to your house, and your grandma claims she knew them before. Whenever photos of a party are posted, they are in at least one. This is the friend you never can introduce simply because everybody knows them already.
7. The “barely talks” friend
This person has loud thoughts and if you get close to them you can hear it, but other than that, they are quiet. They don’t have much to say when they're around you, or even by themselves, but trust me when I say they are thinking, and I mean thinking hard! Hopefully you get closer to them and find out what animal lies underneath the shell.
8. The “Chill Pill Bill” friend
Even when high as hell, this person is just chill. When the world is ending, go to Chill Pill Bill’s house and they’ll keep you from panicking. Their motto is Hakuna Matata and their spirit animal is Crush from Finding Nemo. They go with the flow more than blood cells in the bloodstream. Good to have around when you wanna lay back and relax. They are the ultimate vacation wrapped in a human being.
9. The “doormat” friend
Their motto is “Yes, step over me please; that’s what I’m here for.” At first when you met this friend, you just thought they were nice until you got to know that they were just a people pleaser. This is the friend you have taken advantage of and since they always say yes, it probably for a while never fazed you one bit. Eventually, you see what a pushover they are and either you call them out on it, or you continue to use them.
10. The “fishy” friend
This friend is very suspicious, but you keep them around because of some characteristics you like. You know there is chance that they are the possible serial killer that the news has been telling you to look out for. Every time you hang with this friend, your hairs raise and you start producing adrenaline for that fight-or-flight response. You know something isn’t right, but you don’t know what it is, so you continue on being friends. Then something pops up and you realize why your mind was itching the entire time.
11. The “camera lover/chronic selfie taking” friend
