Family or just friends?

10 Signs You're More Like Family Than Friends
McKenzie Evans

Have you ever wondered if you and your best friend are actually family? Well, here are a couple of signs:

1. You know each other's garage codes.

You get to your best friend's house and no one is home? No problem -- you can just type in the code and chill until someone gets home.

2. You know where everything is located in the kitchen.

Isn't it awful when you go to someone's house and have to look through all the cabinets just to find a glass for your water? By the time you actually find it, you feel like you wasted half of your life. Well luckily for you, this isn't a problem you have at your best friend's house.

3. You hang out with your friend's parents when your friend is not around.

Your friend isn't home? There's no one to talk to? Nonsense. Their parents are just as good as them... or maybe better.

4. You know how to work their shower.

Is it not the worst when you are ready to get in the shower at a friend's house and then you realize you don't know how to work the dang thing?! Well this isn't your problem anymore. You are so familiar with it that you have started to teach their other guests.

5. You know the extended family.

Family party? You're there. I mean, its not a problem because you already know everyone.

6. You have the inside scoop on all the family drama.

You are around your friends family so much that they feel like you are part of the family, so they always have to catch you up on latest family fiasco.

7. Your Wi-Fi connects automatically.

Nothing better than walking into a house and automatically connecting to the WiFi. Nobody has time for those crazy long passwords anymore.

8. You can get food without asking.

Congrats! You have passed that awkward point of asking if there is any food you could possibly eat. Instead, you go grab your armful from the fridge and plop back down on the couch next to your other family.

9. You have to help clean the house.

There's people coming over? Hope you know where all the cleaning supplies are located!

10. You get in trouble with their parents just as much as yours.

The worst part of being more like family than friends? You get in trouble from your friend's parents like you are one of their children. You consider yourself to be, but you hoped that discipline wasn't included in that.

Having friends that are more like family is awesome, even if it does mean getting yelled at and helping clean a house. At least you're getting some free food out of it.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
