Average Friend

There are 2 types of friends you make: the whatever "friend" and the friend friend.
First off, there's "the whatever friend." Simply stated, these people come and go. Here's a list of a couple you might run into.

1. The Hit-and-Run Friend
You meet this person once. You guys click....but you never see them ever again. Just a one-night stand type of thing.

2. The "Hi, How Are You" Friend.
You make a lot of small talk with this person, but after a while, you guys run out of things to say. The "Hi, How Are You" Friend turns into someone you wave to and smile at when you awkwardly run into each other.

3. The Facebook Friend.
You meet this person and add him/her on facebook. You comment their facebook wall once or twice and never think of them ever again. They're just good for uping your friend count and making you look cool once you hit the 1000-friend mark, unlike our old buddy Tom here...

4. The Acquaintance.
This person was in your class. You use him for notes and he uses you for notes. End of story.

Now there's the real friend friend. These people mean something to you because after all, they are your friends right?

1. The Psychiatrist.
You have problems, but luckily, this friend is always there to hear you out and make you feel better.

2. The Floormate.
You see them everyday.You can't help but get to know them on a more personal level.


3. The Freeloader.
I've heard once before that a true friend isn't someone that is afraid of eating your food; they're the reason why you don't have food in the first place. You feel so comfortable with this person that you guys don't care what about what the other person thinks.

4. Stated VERY Simply, The Friend.
They can be completely different from you. They can be exactly the same as you. You could've known them from as long as 10 years to as little as 6 months. None of it matters, because in the end, they'll always be there




Now take a look at your friends. It doesn't matter how many friends you have. What really matters is who your friends are. You don't want the average friend. What you should strive for is the exceptional friend, so get out there and get to know your "Hi, how are you" and facebook friends and become friend friends with them.

I will do the same.
-Wish me luck on my quest on going from average John to popular John.
