9 Reasons Why I Love My Best Guy Friend
New Girl Wiki

DRAMA-FREE FRIENDSHIP!!

Having a guy best friend is the best because they’re so lax. They barely ever get mad at anything and all fights, if any, are pretty short lived. When hanging out with my best guy friend is like stepping out of girl world for a while and it’s so nice.

They get your humor.

Having the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy doesn’t always go over well with girl-friends. However, with guy friends, they have the same stupid sense of humor as I do so we can laugh at toilet jokes, passing gas, and “what she said” all day long.

They’re willing to do the most random stuff at any given moment.

Donuts at midnight? Burgers at 2:47am? Stack as many hats on my head as possible without them falling? How could anyone say no to that?

They speak boy.

Say I’m talking to some guy I have a crush on and I don’t know what he means by something, I can just ask what he’s trying to say. No one speaks boy better than a boy, so why not as the best one who happens to be sitting right across from me?

They’re honest and straightforward.

When it comes to guys, there’s no BS. I know I can always count on my guy best friend to not sugar-coat anything and give me the most honest answer to anything. Also, on the rare occasion he pays me a compliment, I know it’s genuine.

No judgment.

I know that around my guy best friend I can fully be myself without being worried about getting side eye for doing something weird. I can cry, laugh, and rant and he won’t care. It’s nice to know that when I burp, it’s going to be followed by an even larger one from him.

I feel safe.

Basically they’re my unpaid body guard when I’m with them because I know for a fact they would punch someone in the face for me if they needed to. Also, if I’m out somewhere and some creep is hitting on me, I can just pull him over and say “I’m here with my boyfriend!” and he would totally play along.

They are my personal pillow.

This is probably my favorite reason. I love having a person I can just platonically lay down and watch TV with and have it not be weird. This is the true essence of Netflix and chill, not that perverted crap everyone else makes it out to be.

He’s the brother I never had.

We fight like brother and sister but we’re always there for each other no matter what. There’s no one else in the world I’d rather do stupid stuff with than him.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
