Girl Best friends are a blessing that not many guys seem to take advantage of. I'm definitely amazed by how much mine has affected my life and she knows she can rub it in my face whenever she gets the chance. But the question is, why is it great?

1. Better Advice

Giphy

Girls actually know what other girls like. If you're looking for ways to impress a potential other, they're probably one of the first you should ask.

2. Jealousy? Not a Problem

Giphy

They understand that hey you have other people you care about they're not going to feel jealous just because you don't spend every second with them instead of others

3. They get when you need space

Giphy

You ever notice how there can be a space between "girl" and "friend?" but when it's girlfriend its pushed together? Girl best friends can understand the concept of "Me Time" more than anyone. This being the opposite of jealousy, they don't crave your every moment of attention.

4. Texting back? Take as long as you need

Giphy

This pretty much goes hand in hand with the last two. Not everyone is on their phones nonstop texting, we have this magical thing called reality. So Girl best friends won't get mad if you take longer cause they get it.

5. Be Yourself Homie

Giphy

Dude, we all have our guilty pleasures. Your best friend just wants you to be happy no matter how girly of a habit you could have, strut your stuff and be you boo cause they won't judge.

6. You don't have to worry about what it is they want from you!

Giphy

Bro, we have all been there. You can't decide where you go out to eat because she wants the one thing from 5 different places, and if there is something she wants, she won't tell you what that is because she thinks you should know her well enough to know. Or, even worse she won't tell you what is bothering her. Best friends don't worry about that and will say what is on their mind because they feel as friends you won't leave them. So no more pulling out the guessing game.

7. Looking good? Now you can look fly!

Giphy

Sometimes us guys Just aren't the fashionistas we think we can be. The pants we think goes with that top? THEY DO NT GO WITH THAT TOP! You want to dress to impress? Ask your girl best friend, she'll have you look sharp.

8. You gain a sense of maturity.... WHICH YOU MIGHT NEED!!!

Giphy

You ever notice how when girls are around you tend not to make the same immature jokes you would around just your boys? Guess what? That's your conscience telling you to grow up and stop making yourself look stupid. Trust me, You'll thank her later

9. You get to meet all of her friends

Giphy

I really shouldn't have to explain this, but if I must... You're her best friend so everyone probably already hears how great of a guy you are. You want the hookup? You'll get more than that with her as a wingman.

10. Best friends last longer

Giphy

You don't have to worry about breaking up. You're friends If either of you decides to pursue someone else you still end up telling each other every detail and it's fine. Just enjoy what it is that you have

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
