4 Things To Look For In A True Friend
Bess Stone

How do you find the friends that will be there for you through it all? How do you know when someone is honest and true blue? When you're hungover on a Saturday morning and do not want to move from your bed, will they be right there with you? Top four things to look for in a friend are:

1. Trust:

Have they kept your secrets? Have they tried to slash your ex's tires? Will they tell you if you're being a bitch or your outfit is ugly? As ridiculous as it sounds, these questions are necessary in the process of finding your true friends forever. A girl needs her best friends to get through the obstacles life throws at her. These are so important to keep an eye out for.

2. Motivation:

Are the people you surround yourself with motivated? Do they motivate you to be the best version of yourself? Are they optimistic? When you can't see the good in yourself, do they point it out for you?

3. Happiness:

Find someone you can crack up with at any hour of the day about anything in the world. Find someone who makes you happy and excited! Find a friend that you can sit on the couch with for an entire day and not say a word to, but still feel like you're spending time with them.

4. Appetite:

Last but not least, make sure you can eat with them. I know everyone eats but make sure you can pig out like food is about to go extinct tomorrow with them. Super important- probably the most important factor!

I have gone through a lot of friends in my 21 years. They come and go and come back and leave again, but the best ones stick with you through it all.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
