35 Reasons Why Dating Your Best Friend Is The Greatest Thing Ever

I've always wanted that picture-perfect Disney movie romance every girl dreams of. You know, the one where the guy meets the girl, they fall in love, and live happily ever after? Where's the part of those movies where they realize they aren't only meant for each other in love, but because they are just the best duo of friends they could ask for? I'm happy my life isn't a movie, because if it was I might've never found my boyfriendbest friend.

1. You have a shoulder to cry on...

2. And a (nice) physical shoulder to cry on too.

3. He'll be straight up with you...

4. But still care enough about your feelings to phrase it nicely.

5. Not every moment has to be picture-perfect good.

6. Sometimes the moments that aren't are the more fun ones.

7. You can gossip to him about anything,

8. And he always tells you all the boy drama too.

9. You don't have to spend every second around each other...

10. But enjoy it when you can.

11. You can sit together on a bed but not feel pressured to make out...

12. But you know deep down that he's a great kisser and you want to.

13. You can eat whatever you want around him...

14. And in big servings too.

15. He sometimes lets you get the bill at restaurants, but not always.

16. You feel comfortable hanging out with his friends when he's not around,

17. And together you never make anyone feel like a third wheel.

18. He comes to you for advice about anything...

19. And vice versa.

20. He's comfortable when you hang with your guy friends...

21. And you're comfortable when he hangs with his girl friends.

22. You can talk for hours about literally anything, and nothing is too awkward.

23. You tend to finish each others sentences...

24. And have a lot of inside jokes.

25. He's taught you so much about yourself, and pushes you to be the best version of yourself.

26. He's also helped you with your math when you have no idea what you are doing.

27. There is no judgement when it comes to 2 a.m. pizza cravings...

28. Or of your killer dance moves (not talking about grinding, my friends).

29. He's seen you all natural; no makeup, hair in bun, PJs on...

30. And tells you that you're still gorgeous.

31. You take more goofy pictures together than normal ones...

32. And can make each other laugh by saying one word.

33. He's there when you need a friend...

34. But he knows when to step up and treat you like a princess too.

35. And while you feel like you found your "other half," in reality, it's because you've found your best friend too.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
