15 Things You Know To Be True When You're Bestfriends for Life

#bestfriendgoals is more than just taking the perfect selfie and getting fro-yo once a week. Sometimes it's harder than you think and it can a get a bit messy, but in the end? It's totally worth it.

Marriage agreements usually go something like, "to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, 'till death do us part," yeah, yeah, we get the picture. If you hypothetically swap your fiancée for your best friend, the same rules apply. Well, maybe it would be something a little more like "to have more than a few drinks with and to hold your hair when you've had too much, in sickness of all forms and in every time of the month that you want to binge on brownies and any carb you can get your hands on, and 'till something stupid we decided was a good idea gets us killed." Yep, that sounds about right. Whether you have that one person or a few of those people, you're best friends for life, and here are a few times you were either painfully or blissfully aware of that:

1. You have all but shared a blood seal (and if it weren't for your mutual fear of needles, you would have already).

2. Your animals love them more they love you.

3. You can brutally honest with each other. I mean really it's for their benefit.

4. There is no such thing as a normal snapchat between you and your bestfriend. It's almost a competition to see who can be uglier.

5. Popcorn and a movie night turned into popcorn and wine night which turned into just wine night which somehow ended in vodka shots and someone streaking.

6. You're always in sync with each other. Ladies, you know what I mean.

7. Showing up unannounced to harass them at work (and video document it, of course) is one of your favorite pastimes.

8. You may as well be sisters because their mom has basically adopted you at this point.

9. You know their significant other isn't good enough for them, but you play nice anyway.

10. You are all too familiar with their 3:00 am aggressive cuddling habits, and you have the eye-bags and bruises to prove it.

11. You make all these plans only to end up shamelessly bingeing on Game of Thrones and it's totally fine.

12. Parties just wouldn't be right if you didn't end up in the bathroom together talking about anything from the guy who just tried to hit on you, to what you're going to name your first kid (which clearly they will be the godmother to).

13. When it comes down to it, you would literally do anything for each other (as long as they spot your coffee the next day).

14. They've seen you at your best and at your worst, and they still stick around. You should really buy them a "thank you card."

15. And last but not least, they know you better than anyone. Seriously, it's like you share a brain or something. They're the first person you go to for advice, and you would trust them with your life, (and also to not judge your questionable dance moves).


It really is like they say, friends are the family we get to choose. You may fight like sisters, but you'll always be by each others side through thick and thin, no matter what, and 'till death do us part.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

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.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
