Everyone had to say the heartbreaking goodbyes when they watched their best friend go off to another college and have the time of their lives. Although the jealousy kicked in watching them make their new friends, you know they never forgot your friendship that you both cherished. When summertime rolls around everyone is excited for new adventures with their best friend and to hear the stories about their new college life. There are 10 things that every pair of best friends does when they get home and see each other.
1. Talking about all the new friends that you have
While trying not to get jealous of all their new friends, you can't help but be excited and happy for your best friend, knowing that she's making so many friends. You are eager to hear all about her roommate, sorority, and the cute boy in her hallway. Although you're filled with excitement about how cool your BFF is, you just want to squeeze her because she is finally home.
2. Going to eat at your favorite restaurant
Chances are the food at college wasn't the greatest and didn't have all of your local restaurants. Although you both complain that you are broke nothing beats half price appetizers, Rita's or a venti frappuccino at Starbucks.
3. Seeing their family and making yourself right at home again
Her mom is your mom. You missed venting to her mom about your life and getting another perspective on things. You know her mom always has food so opening the cabinets without asking is not a question.
4. Take a Day Trip to the Beach
You both are dying for a little sun and something fun to do so you take a day trip to the beach. Nothing beats getting sunburnt with your BFF.
5. Work out
You both constantly are complaining about the freshman fifteen so you attempt to go on a run. After that lasts only about a mile you attempt to lift some weights and do some abs...and that fails. It makes you both feel good that you "worked out."
6. Shop 'til you drop (in each other's closets)
You can't wait to see all of her new college attire, going out clothes, and cute athletic wear so you take a trip over to her house to borrow a few new outfits that you missed out on all year.
7. Binge-watch Netflix
You both naturally watch the same show on Netflix, so chances are there will be a few days that you both don't leave the couch. Whether it's the heartbreak of "Grey's Anatomy" or the family feeling you get from friends, or even that high school drama from Gossip Girl, you are watching it together.
8. Making a summer bucket list
Year after year you always make a summer bucket list with your best friend. Even though you fail to complete half of them, its the thought that counts.
9. Jamming to all your new favorite songs in the car
So many new hits have come out since you last saw each other and you could drive for hours jamming out to your favorite songs. Both the new songs and the old ones are always duet.
10. Cherish the time you have together
Summer flies by and eventually once again you are saying bye to your best friend. So cherish the little time you have with her and be thankful that she is your best friend. To my BFF, i love you and thanks for making coming home so great. xoxo.
