10 Spongebob Gifs That Capture What It's Like to Date Your Best Friend

Do you know that feeling you get when you come home, plop down on your bed and close your eyes, so relieved and appreciative that you have somewhere to relax after a long day? That’s how it feels to date your best friend. In a nutshell, a familiar territory. Despite the transitioning from just friends to a couple being slightly awkward and hard to adjust to, at the end of it all, they are still your best friend and will always be your comforting home.

1. Comfort is second nature.

You were friends before, so they already know you. There is no point in hiding your flaws and secret quirks like you normally do when first starting out in a relationship, because 10 times out of 10, they already know every single one.

2. You can always rely on them to be there for you.

After a bad exam or a fight with a close friend, there is no doubt that they will be there when you need them the most. Even if you live far away from each other, you’ll both make it work, because who else is going to show up at your doorstep ready to binge-watch Netflix and eat Chinese all night?

3. You don’t have to pretend to be anyone else but yourself.

You were already friends before, so they already know how crazy and dysfunctional you are, trust me on this. They will always love you unconditionally, and I'm talking no makeup and sweats. Just be happy and thankful that they deal with you anyway, no questions asked.

4. Fights don’t last for more than five minutes.

Arguments are inevitable, but they are also good to have once in awhile to maintain a healthy relationship. And when it comes to fighting with someone who you've known for so long, it's easier to simply let it go and laugh about it later.

5. Apologies are taken to extremes.

If for some reason one of you really is in the wrong, the other will always do anything they can to make it better. No one can bear the feeling of their best friend being upset with them.

6. Making each other laugh is really easy.

It's as easy as bringing up a joke from middle school to make your significant other start rolling on the floor laughing. There are too many jokes and memories from the years of being best friends to not laugh about them throughout your relationship.

7. When the other is not there, you feel like a piece of you is missing.

As just friends, it was easy to say goodbye at the end of the day because you both knew you would see each other again soon. As a new couple, you grow closer and soon realize that saying goodbye to one another is the worst part of the day.

8. They will tell you things like it is.

When you're being a brat, acting rude to your family, not studying when you're supposed to be or even giving them more sass than usual, they will let you know. Don't expect them to sugarcoat their feelings.

9. You love being supportive of each other.

Nothing gives one another more excitement than seeing the other’s face after having an exciting day. Whether it be from receiving a good grade on an exam after studying so hard or even reconnecting with an old friend after so many years, they will always support and cherish your happiness.

10. Loving one another is unconditional.

Even though the love you have for them is different than it once was when you were just friends, it’s still the same in the fact that it’s unconditional.There is absolutely no better feeling in the world, knowing that they feel exactly the same.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
