When you’re sitting down at a restaurant with a group of about ten people and you can literally predict off of the top of your head what every single person will order, down to “no onions” or “extra spicy mayo,” you know you’re either just really creepy or you’ve been best friends with the same group of kids since you were transitioning from diapers to pull-ups. In this case, I’ve had the same best friends since I made my first Club Penguin account, which yes, was a very long time ago. Not many people can say they’ve had the same “crew” for longer than they can even remember, minus a few stragglers that got dropped or picked up over the years, but still, this is something really special. It’s not every day that people can say they have a solid ten people that they know for a fact will always have their back, and will drop anything, and then cross state borders to come be by your side if you need them. If this sounds like you, read this list to make sure your squad is the real deal:
1. You’re better friends with their family than you are with them.
2. You can not talk for weeks but when you see them its like no time has passed.
3. You show up at their house uninvited.
4. Their fridge is your fridge (or more importantly the pantry where all the snacks are).
5. You can spend hours reminiscing about your second grade science teacher.
6. You snap chat their siblings.
7. Half of your wardrobe is filled with their clothes.
8. You don’t have anymore storage on your phone because of all the “blackout” videos you’ve received of them that you had to save.
9. You automatically assume they are your weekend plans because who else is there?
10. You know all of their pet peeves, and probably use them against them way too often.
11. You know you’re going to be the coolest mom squad out there…one day
12. You have your own language.
13. You can read each other's minds when you are in a sticky situation.
14. You finish each other's sentences.
15. You pay for each other's meals...and will probably never get paid back, but you're ok with it.
16. You constantly butt-dial them because they're always on your "recent calls."
17. You're always watching the same show on Netflix...so you can talk about it for unreasonable amounts of hours after every episode.
18. You guys are always the first one to like each other's Instagram picture...and you probably edited it too.
19. You guys hate all the same people.
20. You stop feeling the need to wear pants around them.
21. You've probably already started writing your bridesmaid and groomsman speech because lets be honest, you know you'll STILL be Best Friends.
