When you first go away to college, it’s a huge adjustment. You have to get used to doing your laundry without being reminded, balancing an insane workload, and navigating a new location. Even harder is being separated from the people you love. It’s such a weird feeling to know that you aren’t a five minute drive from your best friend’s house anymore. You can’t call them up to get fries from three different fast food restaurants for National Fry Day. You can’t sneak away to their house when you’re feeling sad or happy or simply in need of a swim. But despite all that, you’re never truly have to be without them. That’s what cell phones are for!

My best friend and I don’t text every single day, but when something interesting happens we are sure to let the other know. If you were to read my conversations with my best friend you would know exactly who I was talking to without even needing to see her name. It’s the kind of things that you would say exclusively to your best friend.

Here are excerpts from the top “number” conversations I’ve had with my BFF, in no particular order:

(P.S. - names were changed)

1. “Also, Pedro has a girlfriend now, sorry, bae”

“Pedro nooooooooo!!!!!” “Sigh… It’s cool, I’m already over it lol”

Backstory: Bae and I were trying to set her up with.. Pedro

2.

Cue the Green Day.

3. “I discovered that Popcorn has been eating my curtains”

Popcorn is her Guinea Pig.

4.

Procrastination at its finest.

5. “You know your boyfriend’s roommate and you are tight when he walks around in his underwear and you can chill in your bra and it’s not [that] weird”

“You and Pablo have a friendship one could only dream about”

Thanks for the sarcasm, b*$#&. And to be honest here, he walked in on me changing. But it wasn't nearly as bad as I would have expected.

6.

Literally everyone had to be wondering what was going on in there.

7. “My physics textbook uses armadillos to explain sine waves…. They clearly understand my learning methods”

I really wish my physics textbook did things like that. Then maybe I'd actually have an A in physics!

8.

I really want this salsa.

9. “I was pooping and an f'ing spider started dangling down in front of my face from the ceiling. And to clarify I am not pooping and texting because phones and toilets freak me out.”

Why does one think to send texts like this? Honestly.

10.

What happens when your best friend is an artist... Scary stuff.

So there you have it. I've now made transparent the bizarre relationship I have my equally as bizarre best friend. I hope I haven't embarrassed either of us too much! Here's to many more years of crazy friendship and weird conversations.
