I was that girl that never really had any girl friends. I thought it was a lot of drama and for some reason other girls and I didn't get along.

I just found it so much easier to talk to guys because they were simple (no offense to any muchachos out there). They tended to calm me down whenever I was being too emotional because they didn't have the same level of reaction that I did with situations. They were funny and lighthearted about almost everything. When it came down to hanging out, there were never any long drawn out silences with everyone thinking about what to do, it was always just lounging around someones living room.

Plus, not gonna even try to lie, it was kind of nice to be surrounded by guys because you're able to easily tousle around with them and maybe flirt a little here and there.

Then everything changed when I got to college and I realized I needed my girls to really understand what was going on.

Yes, there was drama, but it wasn't anything that was too overwhelming or unnecessary.

They understand when I get overemotional because sometimes, the situation calls for it and a good cry is overdue.

They could be hysterical and lighthearted but also serious and get straight to the point.

Making plans to hang out might take a few minutes to sort out but in the end it's worth while because we're able to do incredibly fun things.

I find myself turning towards my girls for everything now. Our group chat is always active with requests about outfit opinions and boy problems and work problems and funny memes. I feel like now I can't go on with my day without seeing them at least once.

We go out to dinner and gab about anything and everything. Wine nights on living room floors are an absolute must. We can freely talk about which boys are cute and which boys aren't which is something I could never do with my guy friends and I never realized how fun it was until I was able to.

I would truly be lost without them.
