Guys Suck, But Here're 11 Reasons Everyone Still Needs A Guy Best Friend
Colleen Finney

Don't get me wrong, I love my girls, but having a guy best friend is a whole different story. With girls comes so much drama, backstabbing and always being in competition with each other. Guys aren't about that life. Having a guy best friend is much more relaxing and easy going.

1. Less Drama

There's still drama, but it's usually pointless and dumb. Guys don't thrive on drama like girls do, therefore, it's much more tolerable than what girls put each other through and for that I am grateful.

2. Always a phone call away

No matter where you are at or what time it is, they always pick up. It's nice knowing you always have someone there even if you haven't talked in weeks.

3. Can talk for hours

We can talk about anything and everything until 5 a.m. Whether it's about serious life problems or just pointless stuff, we can talk for hours and never get bored.

4. Inside jokes

Oh, there are many. Some of them we don't even understand or know how we came up with them, but they put us in a better mood when life gets rough and it's something that makes up our friendship.

5. Tell you how it is

With your outfit, your life choices, your hair color, all of it. They're the most brutally honest person in your life, but it's for the best and they're almost always right so you should probably listen to them.

6. Want the best for you

When it comes to school, your career, your boyfriend, they truly want nothing but the best for you and you want the same for them. It's really what makes your friendship so pure because you're not constantly trying to one-up each other.

7. Can get food whenever

Literally whenever. It's nice because they're always down to grab a bite and catch up on life no matter what time of day it is or if they just ate.

8. Always down for an adventure

Jumping off cliffs, prank calling people at 2 a.m. or going to Cedar Point, just to name a few. They're always down for some shenanigans, especially if they're thrilling.

9. They're there to solve your boy problems

We all need a little help in the boy department every once in a while. He's always my go to when I have a question or just need some advice. After all, he is a guy so he understands the whole guy code and knows exactly what to say.

10. Pros at supporting your bad decisions

Whenever I'm questioning a really bad choice, you best bet that he's in my ear pushing me to do it and after I make the bad decisions, he's usually right there to pick up the pieces and to help me reevaluate my life.

11. Put in the effort

This is the best part. We both equally put in 110 percent. It's not a one-sided friendship or where one waits for the other to come around. We're always there for each other.

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.

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.
