Perks Of Having A Girl Best Friend

Perks Of Having A Girl Best Friend

Most men out there who are too obsessed with their egos don't believe in having a girl best friend. The mere thought of being "friend-zoned" absolutely horrifies them. What men are failing to realize is that being "friend-zoned" is not all that bad. Think about it this way:

Girls are way more successful in hooking you up with a girl than one of your bros. When a guy tries to hook up a girl up with his bro, it hardly ever works because the girl thinks we are being creepy and weird. When a girl tries to hook up another girl with her friend, it almost makes it look like the guy is way too sweet and shy to actually say something to her himself. For some odd reason that I will never understand, girls like that type of stuff.

If you walk out of your room looking completely awful and not stylish whatsoever, she'll let you know. Yeah, you might think you look pretty fly in your cargo shorts and tight-fitting Aeropostale T-shirt, but she doesn't. She'll let you know wearing that outfit is completely fine, as long as you're okay with attracting zero female attention and making all the other guys look amazing compared to you.

"I got a text from a girl I've been talking to and she said 'Fine.' What does that mean?!" Okay, I keep my girl best friends around for this sole reason. The reason why they are so useful when it comes to this situation is because they are girls, too. They have sent these types of messages and know exactly what they mean. My girl friends always tell me that "Fine." does NOT mean fine. It means "Please lay on a bed of thumbtacks."

If you accidentally make out, there's no tension or awkwardness. Okay, you look at each other for about five seconds and start making out for about two seconds. You look at each other, laugh, turn on the TV, then continue watching "Mean Girls."

You can talk to her in a way that you can't talk to your guy friends. If you go to your bros looking distraught over a girl, they might call you a variety of names that I will not mention. If you go to your girl friend, they'll listen to your whole story, try to evaluate what you should do, and make sure you're okay. They're like your mom in college. They might even feed you if you make your story seem sad enough. Sometimes I do this just for the food. (If you're reading this Savana, I'm sorry.)

They'll act like your girlfriend if you are getting harassed by a girl you want nothing to do with. Whether it be your crazy ex-girlfriend who won't leave you alone or a Tinder match you made by mistake, she's there for you. She might even kiss you to make it even more convincing. Don't worry, It won't end up like the movies when your friend kisses you and you guys end up falling in love while making babies on a boat when it's pouring rain.

It gives you an excuse to tidy up in your house. Best friend or not, when she comes over, you still feel the need to impress her with a nice, clean house. Also, because you know she'll call you out and tell you you're a disgusting piece of a filth if you don't clean your house.

They'll decorate pretty much anything for you as long as you offer them ice cream. Whether it be a paddle for your big bro or a tapestry for your apartment, they'll do it as long as some sort of reward is involved. It's quite easy to please your girl friend, making it so much better to have them instead of an actual girlfriend.

Long story short, they'll always be there for you in any kind of situation. Being in the friend zone doesn't sound too bad now, does it?

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.
