13 Things You Know If You Have A Guy Best Friend
Jacob Ufkes

1. He teaches you to be tough

Aside from that sensitivity you catch yourself feeling every so often, a best guy friend will always be there to give you that strand of tough exterior when you need it. No more whining and crying about that boy that said you were ugly, they want you to kick his butt and show him what he's missing.


2. Drama is kept to a minimum

Guys are super cool for the simple fact that their feelings don't control their entire life. For the most part, your friendship is drama free and even with the occasional disagreement, nothing gets too out of hand


3. Life is never so serious

I think if it was possible I'd worry the entire day about all of the stressful parts of life. In reality, having a best guy friend teaches you that serious times don't have to be so serious. Fun can always be worked into the schedule. You always have someone to be your funny self with.


4. You expect your guy friend to understand everything you deal with on a daily basis

A huge apology on this one because I, myself, don't even understand everything I deal with on a daily basis. You just can't. Girls are too much sometimes.


5. You ALWAYS have someone to vent to about mean girls

I mean, if we are going to be honest talking about your encounters with mean girls to a guy is so much funnier than dishing it out to a girl. They just have a way of saying things that put things into perspective, and make you laugh at the same time.


6. You gotta let him know when you think a guy is cute

His advice is really good, even if it isn't what you want to hear. Chances are, he can decode those weird text messages for you and help you navigate through that awkward "talking" stage that everyone hates. After all, he is a guy.


7. You sometimes drive him crazy, and enjoy it

On the off chance that you decide today is the day to be annoying, he's your number one target. His reactions are priceless and you can't help but laugh.


8. He's seen your ugly cry and still talks to you

Now that's a good friend.



9. He's always there to snap the ugliest pictures of you

Some of the ugliest moments of my life could leave me friendless if he decided to share those off guard pictures. Man, I do not have many good angles.


10. If a problem is big or small, he's there

No matter the issue, you always have a friend to see you make it out alive.

11. You agree on a lot of the same things

Political issues, tv shows, you name it, he's with ya.

12. He's always equipped with the best advice, even when you least expect it



13. You definitely couldn't imagine life without him

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
