To The Girl in The Back,

For whatever reason you're not in the "in" group, you do not have a group of 15 friends you always go out with, you prefer to have your close select friends in your life and you're set.

If you're in a sorority you're probably wondering why you don't seem to fit the typical sorority life of a group of 300 girls who are all supposed to be close all the time. You think you're left out because you do not have the group, but what you don't know is how good that can be. The group you're staring at, wishing you could be like, has a lot going on behind the scenes.

These groups have stories that would make you thankful you're not included. It's simple, girls are terrible, they can tell you one thing and then turn around and do the complete opposite.

Suddenly one girl in the group the rest of the group was talking smack about the night before is back to being their best friend, it's hard not to get whiplash.

Is this out of convenience?

Is it because the rest of the group loves the drama that that one girl brings?

Who knows.

These girls that are in these groups post pictures with one another and yet when they're asked if the person next to them is considered their "friend" it is an automatic "it's complicated" or "oh no, not in a million years, I'm just being nice." They'll defend their people because they feed off the drama and want to be in the middle of it, but when it comes to them or their friends, it's everyone for themselves.

There are countless times where one moment this group is inseparable and the next no one is talking to one another. What these groups don't understand is that the girl in the back sees what's good, she sees the true form of each individual girl and sees how fake they can all be.

The girl in the back realizes how lucky she is to not have to worry about her "friends" true intentions, lucky she doesn't have to second guess telling her "best friends" some news that's happened in her life. True friends always stick by one other, no matter the circumstances.

The girl in the back is the one who sticks by and watches the group fall apart because eventually, it will. In the end, she's thankful for not being in the group, not having to worry about if her friends are snakes.

Growing up, I was always taught if you could count the good true friends you have on one hand, you've conquered the world. So really, why would you want to be jealous of the girls who switch sides as often as they switch outfits before they go out?

So, to the girl sitting at the back of that party, club, bar, staring at these groups wishing you could be apart of, don't worry, you're not missing much and you're definitely not alone. Cheers to you.
