You know the saying you can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose? Well, I bet you can think of one friend who would be willing to let that happen. In every group of friends, there are a mix of different personalities, and opinions, but it is these differences that make your friend group work. Here are four types of friends that are most likely in your friend group!
1. The Serious, But Artsy One
This friend is the one that when all of you meet up, you need a few minutes to feel out what type of mood he or she is in before engaging in conversation. You can usually sense when they are bringing "The Fog". Also, this is the friend that will try as hard as humanly possible to be trendy or artsy. Some signs of this include caring deeply about their Instagram posts, buying the new fad sandals, and rarely showing emotion. Also, when it comes to things like the environment and health, they are the friend that will only shop at Whole Foods Market, and only use all natural deodorant. Even though this friend can be a bit complex, and hard to figure out, he or she is still there for you, and you appreciate them.
2. The Grumpy, and Sassy One
This friend is really something special. There are days when you absolutely hate them, and days when their sassy comments can make you laugh. You can always count on this friend to comment on some part of your life. Whether you decide to take a risk and get a new hair cut, buy a denim jacket, or even just trying something new at Taco Bell, this friend will have an opinion on it, and they will let you know. Overall, you know that even when their comments become too much, they mean well and they are good friends.
3. The Quirky One
This is the friend that will do or say anything in an effort to be different from the rest of the group. Even if they have to lie about something to sound funny or different they will. When you and your friends order food, this friend is going to suggest some of the worst and outrageous food, like a garbanzo bean salad instead of just a pizza.
Another classic sign of this friend is being overly passionate about something so dumb, that it is funny they like it so much. Whether they love hot sauce to the point where they eat it so much they get an ulcer, or a singer so much that you sometimes bash on the artist just to start a fight because you know they are going to take it very personally. You can count on this friend to make you laugh and entertain you when you're bored. This is also the friend that you can never stay mad at and will most likely never lose.
4. The Dumb, But Nice One
This is not the friend that you will call to help you with your homework. When it comes to common sense, or anything pretty much, this friend struggles to survive. Whether they are faced with driving on the correct side of the road, or the one who breaks their leg jumping a two-foot tall fence. This friend may not be the smartest, but they are always there for you. When everyone else is busy they will be around to entertain you. This is also the friend that is always down to have some adventurous fun. It does not have to be planned, even given five minutes notice, this friend will be down for anything.
Having friends like these are one of the reasons that I am who I am today. All of my friends have had some sort of impact on my life and taught me lessons. Overall, I am extremely grateful for my dumb, hipster, quirky, and sassy friends!
