9 Reasons Why You NEED a Sidekick

When you run out of gas.

Personally, this has only happened to me once in my life. I’m quite responsible when it comes to filling up my tank, but if YOU do run out of gas, make sure you have a sidekick.

You run out of toilet paper...on the toilet.

Now this one, I’ve experienced on several occasions. Whether at home, or in a public stall, we have experienced the last sheet of toilet paper problem. So, if you’re in this predicament, it’s always good to have a sidekick bring you a new roll.

When you're hanging a big frame in your new apartment.

Sure, all of the independent people out there can do this on their own, but what if you drop your nail? Your sidekick will be there to hand you a nail before you drop the sizable frame on your big toe.

When you need your opinion on the debate validated.

"Wait. Hey Sidekick, did Trump just interrupt Hillary 5 billion times? Did he just talk about Rosie O’Donnell during the presidential debate? Ummm… Sidekick, why is Hillary smiling like that? She’s scaring you too, right?"

When you're too drunk.

We’ve all been here. We all have that one sidekick to look out for us when we get sloppy or vice versa. Let’s take a moment to appreciate our sidekicks for saving us on multiple occasions…….

When you need a wing-man.

You’re feeling lonely, or old and need a night out on the town. Well, you need a sidekick to help your nervous self when talking to a girl or a boy. Nobody can do this one alone—successfully. So, grab your sidekick and get out there!

When you need your first like on Instagram or Facebook, but it's not happening.

Okay, you know you don’t want to admit that this has happened, but let’s be real, it has. If you have a sidekick, you don’t have to worry because they will like your post if need be.

When you lock yourself out of the house.

Well, your sidekick should always have your spare key and since he/she is obviously always with you, you should never have to worry about this issue.

When you lose your debit card.

Always, always bring your sidekick to the bar. You never want to have to stiff the bartender and your sidekick is nice enough to pay the bill, trusting that you will pay him/her back!

Okay, so we’ve established that your sidekick is extremely important in your life. He/she is there to help you during the good, the bad, and the ugly. However, this is the most important thing to know before you decide to find your sidekick: Your sidekick is not your B**CH. You are there to be their sidekick in the same way that they are to you. It’s a two-sided relationship, so be prepared for responsibility!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
