I was a Bando and a Journalist, you can’t get much lower on the social ladder in high school.

Yet here I sit and I have the best friends in the world.

What really makes it fun is how different we are, yet we all have had a great time hanging out with each other and making a ton of great memories.

I have 691 pictures of me on facebook. Most of which are taken by Kayla and Mackenzie.

Our group is like a mix of Jersey Shore (minus the sex and alcohol) and Saturday Night Live.

Our group has a few simple rules (which are more like guidelines). First sex is a no-go, after all why would you want to limit yourself to having fun with just one person when you can have a lot more fun with a bunch of people.

Second, we frown upon consuming alcohol, because if you are going to do something stupid you might as well be able to remember it the next morning.

As for comedy anything goes—just ask Riley.

Now the run down of the group:

Kayla aka “Babe” and “Example B”: The mother hen of the group, when anything happens it is likely the doing of Kayla.Everybody looks up to her when decisions need to be made.

Mackenzie aka “Doll” and “Example A”: She is the one girl that can hang with the boys. Not only can she burp like a man, she can destroy all of the guys in whatever sport we are playing.

Brian aka “B”: One of the “underrated” guys in the group, He has a quite demeanor and doesn’t give himself enough credit in a group that has a ton of brains and athleticism. He takes his place in the shadows despite being as smart and athletic as the rest of the group. 

Riley aka “Riro”: Riley is usually the butt of the joke, one of the more opinionated person in the group. He has dated both Mackenzie and Kayla, along with a few other people that shall remain nameless.

Ryan (not cool enough to have a nickname): The old “mature” guy of the group, despite the fact that nobody takes him seriously.

Matt: (nickname unknown): Usually the origin of the inappropriate jokes and comments. Considered the jerk of the group, though he does it in the name of fun. Likes to run his mouth when it comes to sports and enjoys backing up his smack talk on the field. 

Sean: aka “Pood”: The youngest of the group he has the duties of an unpaid intern. Any crap we don’t want to do, we make him do it. Though we do respect him include him in all of the epicness.  

Yuji (too cool for a nickname): The most humble and smart guy in the entire earth universe. The man never thinks of himself first and to be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if he cures cancer or something. 

Neil aka “Xerxes” and “SexRex”: The athlete of the group, though he isn’t one of the jocks. Neil is a beast on the court and one day will be making Shaq look like a chump, then in the offseason he will be helping Yuji curing cancer.

Mike aka “The Situation”: The other athlete in the group, his nickname comes from his chiseled abs which makes Mike from Jersey Shore look like the rest of obese America. Whenever his shirt comes off the girls start to drool and the guys do twenty push-ups in the bathroom.

Ellen aka “Mellon”: The group flirt and slightly oblivious to reality.

Michael aka “Don’t call me Mike”: Another one of the “underrated” guys of the group, often gets over shadowed by the other guys. Though despite getting overshadowed he is one of the smarter person of the group.  

Lauren: The one that has the super nice house. Lets Matt eat an obscene amount of Oreos and Girl Scout Thin Mints.

Evan: The other athlete in the group, dating Lauren.

Aaron: The resident Pokemon expert. Has a major crush on Emma Watson.

DJ Mr. Poole aka “Larry”: The cool Dad out of all the parents. He is frequently the DJ at all of our parties and seems to get our crude sense of humor. Creator of Rule No. 1.

Ben the Dog: Riro’s dog. Ben is old and has a thing for humping Brian. We don’t understand it.

Kylie the Dog: Kayla and Sean’s dog. The most hyper and crazy dog you will ever find. Pretty sure she is on some kind of drug.

Who else would take a picture before Winterball of the guys playing football?

We are one big family, making a huge breakfest before team USA’s game in the 2011 Women’s World Cup.

*Disclaimer* If I forgot you or didn’t write a lot about you I wrote this at 2 a.m. and midnight the next night. My brain is a bit fried.
