10 Small Things We All Miss About Our Best Friends

Facebook

1. Hours long phone conversations

2. The ability to communicate via facial expression, and fully understand what is being said

3. Getting all the necessary advice... you know, the important stuff. ("Does this shirt make me look fat? How noticeable is the zit on my face?, etc)

4. Coffee dates at any and all hours of the day

5. Words and phrases that hold a meaning only understood by each other

6. Hugs that make any day a little bit better

7. The occasional "snap back to reality" conversation, where it's pointed out that you are being a complete idiot and need to get a hold of yourself

8. Any time together is always an adventure, whether it's sitting in a car for hours screaming Broadway show tunes, or going to the grocery store just to buy cookie dough and fruit snacks

9. Trusting one another with your best attempts to make as many chins possible in a single Snapchat, and hoping they don't show up in the future

10. The unconditional love, support, and compassion that they have, and that bond that will never, ever be broken, no matter how far away each other may be

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

8. Seeing a missed call from your parents sends fear and horror through your veins.

9. If relatives are coming over to the house, your room better be clean.
