Why You Should Give The "Friend-Zoned" Guy A Chance

For those of us on the search for our perfect match, there are many ways to find him. For those of us living a normal college life, we need a break from the "party guys", the "come over at 11 pm and hangout" guys and even the "let me take you out to ice cream and then go back to my place" guys. What we need is someone who could be there through thick and thin, even if that means looking in the infamousfriend-zone.

Yes, I said it. You've probably befriended plenty of eligible bachelors since you began college, but you've probably befriended one in particular that you just click with--the one that just gets you. Your friends know it, your parents know it and you probably do too. Well, if you're wanting to avoid all of the distasteful options mentioned previously, then you should probably consider what it would be like to pull a Rachel Green and un-friend-zone the Ross Geller in your life. For these reasons and many more, here is why you should take him out of the friend-zone:

He's loyal. He's been there for you in your roughest of times, whether that be going through a tough break-up, a bad grade on an exam or even just a shoulder to cry on when life gets hard. He saw something in you at the beginning, and he's going to hold onto you: friends or more.

He's seen you in every state. He's seen you looking your worst, feeling your worst, smelling your worst, the list could go on and on. He was there to witness your favorite grandmother's death, your dog's passing and maybe even to watch you binge eat for hours. Guess what? He still wants you in his life.

He loves your weirdness. Do you remember the things the last guy you were with hated about you? Your friend-zoned guy adores them. He thinks it's cute that you have a shopping addiction. He thinks it's sweet that you're obsessed with cats. Why wouldn't you want something like this?

So my friends, my I ask: What is really so bad about the infamous "friend-zone"? Why can't we all be a little bit more accepting of the Jim Halpert or Ross Geller in our lives? There's always the scare that beginning a romantic relationship could ruin the friendship, and if there really is nothing there, then don't even try; but, even if there is the slightest possibility, it could be the best relationship that you've ever had.

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.
