How to Make Friends by Hating People

It can be really hard to make friends. I mean, I wouldn't know (I can't help it that I'm so popular), but that's what I've heard. And it's a dog eat dog world out there. The sororities pretty much have the girlfriend market cornered. So I'm going to reveal the number one way that girls make friends, without even realizing it. Are you ready?

Start disliking people. As many as possible. The more people you dislike, the larger the potential friend pool you have to draw from. Disliking the same people (usually other girls) is the most underrated method for making new friends. Let's run through an example.
You're walking through campus on your way to class when you see some chick. She's wearing a super cute top and she is pretty in a real and approachable way not an I feel threatened you are now my enemy way. Naturally, you wanna be friends with this girl. You happen to notice she has a Team Gale pin on her backpack. That's your in. Casually walk up to her and say "Man, that Peeta. What a scrub." Friendship started. You're welcome.

One day you're talking to some girl in class about how another girl is such a know it all, and before you know it you're Facebook friends, follow each other on Twitter and Instagram, and Snapchat at least once a week. And we all know social media is the best way to any girl's heart.

I can't tell you how many friendships of mine have started all because I had the good fortune to dislike the same people that some really great girls also disliked. And I think I speak for all girls when I say that it is completely unnecessary to remember why you dislike someone. You might dislike someone just because once in second grade they took the last apple juice and you were stuck with grape. You can run with that.  The girl you are trying to be friends with will probably say "Wow, I knew she was selfish." 

And hey, while you're at it, if there is someone you want to be friends with who doesn't seem interested, try disliking some people they dislike. It's like the bend and snap. Works every time. 

Author's Note - Once you have achieved the desired level of friendship, it's probably a good idea to stop disliking people. Unless they're anything like Tierra from The Bachelor Season 17. Then you can dislike them all you want.

Hello blogosphere! I will be right here every Wednesday posting the random thoughts of a white girl. Read this blog in the voice of Cher Horowitz to get the intended effect. White girl thought of the day: can I still be a white girl and dislike sororities?

P.S. - If you didn't get the Cher Horowitz reference, you must be clueless. See what I did there?
