Glad To Know I'm "One Of The Bros"

An Open Letter To All My Guys Friends
Den of Geek

Recently on Twitter, I noticed girls tweeting or retweeting things that make them appear crazy, obsessive and/or demanding. I truthfully don’t think appearing crazy is a good thing and anyone who demands a boy to bring them expensive gifts all the time needs a reality check. Luckily, I grew up being good friends with boys and learned how to be one of the “bros.” From this, I learned how to avoid all of these terrible qualities girls possess (THANK GOD).

To the boys who never took it easy on me during soccer and basketball games, God bless you. I worked so hard to be treated as an equal to the opposing gender and I’m happy you realized I will walk all over you if you treat me “like a girl.” You began to hang out with me and sometimes I was one of the few girls and sometimes I was the only girl, but you knew I wouldn’t act differently either way. In high school, I became more of a girl, and you (thankfully) realized I was still the same person.

You all asked me about girls and how to handle certain situations, so I told you the secrets you needed to hear. When I was struggling with boys, I would come to you and ask for opinions and suggestions. When my heart was broken, you boys came through and were there for me. Unlike girls, you told me how to handle it and not to “smash his window with a bat, girl.”

Don’t get me wrong though, as much as I loved you guys, I hated when you went after my girl friends. I know you don’t think most of the time, but c’mon! It's so awkward when you guys end, but I did befriend your ex's, so I suppose I evened out the playing field.

You were all my escape from girls and honestly, I needed it sometimes. Even though none of you actually have a brain yet, I know one day you’ll make a woman very happy considering I yelled at you every time you f*cked up with a good girl. So, this first article is for you, the boys who saved and made me into the non-crazy girl I am today.

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.
