11 Reasons Why Having A Best Friend Is So Amazing

Going through life, we all go through different things and experience different things but as we go through these things, most of us have a best friend that remains by our side to laugh with us, cry with us, share memories with us, and so much more. It is these things that make them so much more amazing.

1. They will always be there

When you feel defeated, alone, or just having a rough day, your best friend will be there no matter what.

2. No words have to be spoken

When you and your best friend are spending time together, words don't always have to be spoken. You can sit in silence comfortably with one another.

3. Distance can't ruin the friendship

No matter where life takes you, distance cannot come between you and your best friend. Even if you're 200 miles apart or 3,000 miles apart, you will still remain friends.

4. Laugh until your stomach hurts

On a bad day, or even a great day, your best friend can make you laugh so hard it will feel like you're developing a six-pack.

5. Great memories

No matter how long you have been friends or remain friends, you can share great memories that will last a lifetime.

6. Spontaneous adventures

When it's on a boring, rainy day, or you just need out of the house, your best friend is someone that will always be willing to take spontaneous adventures with you. Whether it is to the local Wal-Mart or to go see a random movie.

7. Embarrassing moments

No matter how much fun you guys have, there will always be those embarrassing moments that you guys can look back on and laugh about.

8. Happy tears and sad tears

During the course of your friendship, you guys will experience sad tears and happy tears, which will make you cherish your best friend even more.

9. Summer nights

Every friendship has their favorite memories and most of them go back to those nights during the summer when you're out of school and you stay up all night and sleep all day.

10. Friends are family

Friends become part of our family, making us even more grateful for the friendship that we have.

11. Good times and bad times

We all experience bad things and good things and it is always our best friend's that are around during these times. They experience the good and the bad with us, and they never leave.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
