How to keep it Classy: Listen to your friends.
How many times have you gotten in trouble by not listening? Too many to count right?, I bet you can’t even remember the last time you really listened to parents or any authority figure. I know exactly why you haven’t listened to them; it’s because they suck and everything they say sucks. However, there is one set of people that you should listen to: your friends. I know you’re thinking, “No stupid, they are as dumb as I am!” But hear me out. There is a reason why your friends give you advice; it is because they can see you and your actions from an outside perspective. When a friend tells you not to wear that outfit, it’s because you look horrible! The funny thing is that you know you look horrible, you just don’t want to face the music. Friends will tell you exactly what you keep pushing to the back of your mind! This is the same in every situation. For example, when they tell you not to date that girl/guy it’s because they know they are wrong for you, and their judgment on them isn’t clouded by infatuation with that person. Your judgment is clouded, but deep down you know they are a fool just like your friends said.
However, you should only listen to rational advice. I know that sometimes we get a little crazy and your friends might advise you to go streaking through the Quad. I don’t want you out there streaking, getting arrested by University Police and then saying that your friend told you to do it and a blog you read told you to listen to your friends; you’ll look and sound stupid while dragging my name through the dirt. Don’t bring me down with you man, it’s not cool. Anyways, what I’m trying to say is use your head (if you are a guy, I’m talking about your big head, not the other one you tend to use for decisions) when it comes to listening to advice. For the most part, your friends know what they are talking about because they have your best interests in mind. So stop daydreaming when people talk and listen up!
Keep it classy,
