10 Reasons To Always Keep Your Middle School Best Friend

They have seen the best (and worst) of you.

10 Reasons To Always Keep Your Middle School Best Friend
Katelyn Kaczkowski

Throughout the course of your life, friends will come and go constantly. Your friends might even differ from year to year, especially in college when people are always changing, experimenting and searching until they find themselves. Sometimes, you might just get lucky and (by some miracle) meet your life-long bestie in middle school. They stuck by your side through the boring classes, dramatic break-ups, and most commendably, your awkward stage. They might just know you better than you know yourself. Here are ten reasons why you should never drift from your middle school best friend:

1. You know you can always be yourself.

They have actually seen every single side of you. They know not to take your blunt comments seriously and don't judge you for snorting when you laugh. You have basically just forced them to accept your flaws.


2. They are always honest with you.

Whether you are wondering which shoes look better with your top or in need of relationship advice, you know you can always expect complete and total honesty from your BFF. They always have your best interest at heart.


3. She is the best judge of character.

Your best friend is the first one who can tell when a boy is no good for you or when a "friend" is not being the type of friend they should be. They have made stayed through the long-haul of your life and can tell when someone else will not. It's like a magical 6th sense.


4. You always have someone to reminisce with.

What would you ever do if you couldn't talk about that time her little sister slapped you in the face with a hot dog with the person who was there to experience it with you?


5. They don't judge you for how much you eat.

She didn't even flinch when you devoured an entire pizza, wings, and bowl of ice cream in under 20 minutes. In fact, she was sitting right next to you eating a foot-long sub.


6. You are essentially the same person.

You constantly find yourself explaining her to people by saying, "She is just like me, only less crazy". She is the Nicki to your Beyonce. She is the other half that makes you whole.


7. She is your ultimate support system.

She had your back against high school gossip and was your shoulder to cry on when your relative passed away. She (surpassingly) was never even scared away by your ugly crying face…and that is what true friendship means.


8. Their family is your family (and vice versa).

You took your BFF to stay with your grandparents in Florida for Spring break in high school, and you are consistently invited to every one of their family gatherings. You probably just walked in the door from another one of her little cousins' birthday parties a few minutes ago.

9. There is no one else you can have more fun with.

Who else can make you laugh so hard that you spit milk out of your nose? Only your middle school bestie.


10. They just know way too much.

If you ever stopped being friends you would probably have to kill them in order to prevent them from potentially sharing every embarassing thing that has ever happened to you. She has seen you go through middle school, high school, and even college. So, it looks like you will just have to be stuck together forever!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
