12 Reasons Friendship Gives Value to Survival

Playbuzz

We like to emphasize romantic relationships. Romance takes the spotlight in movies, TV shows, music, books, and gossip, and we overlook the beauty of friendship. C.S. Lewis writes, "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art . . . It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival." I honestly cannot imagine struggling through college without my friends. Here are 12 reasons why.

1. Friends put up with you.

2. Friends go on adventures with you.

3. True friends share their food.

4. Friends binge watch Netflix with you.

5. Friends give you their honest opinion of your outfits.

6. Friends humble you when you need it.

7. Friends build you up when you need it.

8. Friends support you.

9. Friends make certain songs special.

10. Friends will share in your insanity.

11. Friends let you vent.

12. Friends know how to cheer you up.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
