Why I Like Being The Blunt Girl

And why you should like her too.

I don't mind being that girl who tells it like it is, and isn't afraid to speak her mind. I know I'd rather hear it like it is than have people beating around the bush to tell me things. I have a filter, but I'm not afraid to say exactly how I feel in the moment and let others know if I have a problem with them. I like being the blunt girl because I never feel like I'm hiding anything or lying. If I have an issue with someone you can be sure I say something the moment something bothers me. If someone asks me a question they know they can have my sometimes brutally honest opinion in the matter because that's what I believe in. I believe in being brutally honest sometimes when it comes to things and saying exactly what is on my mind. I like being the blunt girl.

To some people, it may come across as being mean, or rude, or inconsiderate when I speak my mind, but honestly, I'm just being honest. People often mistake my brutal honesty for just being mean, when really they know I'm right anyway - I am just usually the only one to admit it. People often need my bluntness in their life because, without me, they would just be getting silly advice and hearing things they want to hear from their "fake" friends. Me? I'm a real friend, and I don't tell people what they want to hear, I tell them what they need to hear, because, in the long run, that is what is going to be best for them. I care enough to not sugar coat anything so they know exactly how I feel.

Being blunt has helped me with confronting people who have done me wrong, or anything like that. I don't like being pushed around and the moment someone does something to me that I don't appreciate, you can bet that I will call them out on it, straight to their face, straight to the point. People are surprised by my confrontations because it isn't as common now that we can just text someone about our problems, rather than having a conversation face to face. So when I confront somebody, they take what I have to say seriously, because it was that important for me to want to come talk face to face and tell them exactly how I feel.

I'm that blunt girl that isn't afraid to tell you when you have pepper in your teeth, toothpaste on your face, or a dirt mark on your butt, and I'll probably say it in front of other people because that's just how I am. I like being the blunt girl because you know there is never any BS with me. I'm not fake. If I don't like you, you know. And to go along with that, people either love me, or they don't. I'm not being mean, I'm just speaking my mind, and what I say you may not like and agree with, but I'm going to say it anyway.

Do me a favor and be friends with the blunt girl. She'll never lie to you, she'll tell you when you're making a bad decision, and she'll tell you when you're being annoying. Be friends with the blunt girl because you'll never have to worry about asking "Does this outfit make me look fat" and her responding with "no" even though something else would probably be more flattering. The blunt girl would tell you to change into something else.

Basically, I like being blunt and although that type of personality is an acquired taste, people know I'm real and will always speak the truth.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
