Being A Girl In A Group Of Guys

They're kinda cool, I guess

Being A Girl In A Group Of Guys

Having guys as my best friends is great. They’re fun, they don’t take me seriously and are always down to drink beer, what’s not to like? Not that I don't have girl friends, but having guys closer to me makes life a lot simpler in most cases.

1. They always want food

Girls always have a thing about their calorie intake or they say “oh well, I already had a salad today soo…” Guys will go to Primo’s with you and watch you stuff your face with five slices of pizza and not say a word about it. Plus, they're always down for a late-night dinner sesh.

2. Burping isn’t “unladylike”

We all burp ladies, get the hell over it. But with guys, there are no weird stares in disgust; we just get a “nice” comment with a little head nod instead.

3. I’m never attracted to them

Well… at least not MOST of the time. Sometimes, things happen and well… the rest is unknown history.

4. Hearing other girls say, “OMG he’s so hot”

Yes, I hear this all the time and no I do not agree with you. You might not either if you’ve seen them trashed off their ass, dancing around in their underwear.

5. DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA

I emphasize this because never do I have to hear “oh my god, did you see the shirt she was wearing yesterday?” cause honestly, I don’t give a shit what shirt that girl was wearing yesterday nor will I pretend to care.

6. Their opinion means more

While having a girl's opinion may say a lot about the guy you’re so called “dating’, your guy best friends opinion means 10x more. A guys opinion about the "new boys" could go from 0-100 really quick. If he doesn’t get along with one of them, sorry bud… you gotta go.

7. No filters

I think I’ve heard almost every intimate detail of all of my friend’s sex lives… and while it may be WAY too much information, I love the fact that I actually know it all (in a non-creepy way). We know everything about each other and it just makes us that much closer.

8. I can thank them for my tolerance

The guys drink beer, so I drink beer. You don’t really have much of a choice. You don't get to go to the liquor store to choose some girly wine or any liquor, unless it's Jagermeister. So, while most girls are struggling to play flip cup, I’ll be the girl at the end of the table chugging a full beer.

9. My appearance doesn’t matter

I can easily show up to someone’s house in sweats, no make-up and my hair up and won’t hear a word about it. They’ve seen worse anyway.

10. I have a family

While this may seem cliché, I spend more time with them than my actual family. And, while some of them do suck sometimes, I wouldn’t trade any of them for the world. I've inherited ten new brothers What's not to love about that?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
