5 Reasons Why Our Friends Are So Essential To Our Lives

Everyone has their own little pack of loyal friends that they belong to and constantly text, snapchat, and hang out with. Without our little support group of our best gals, we would quite possibly go insane. Here's some things that I'm sure you and your pack of friends will relate to:

1.) The Group Message

If you ever want to discover a girls deepest and darkest secrets, simply, find some way to get into her group message with her closest friends. Once inside the group message, you are discovering a whole new world of drama, gossip, fashion advice, screenshots and much much more. The group message is where the most happens because most of the time, we can't wait till the next day to tell our friends about our latest boy craze.

2.) Fashion Sense

If you're ever in a predicament about what you should wear the next day, just snap your gals a picture of your contending outfits. Trust me, it works miracles getting someone else's opinion. But make sure you're getting the opinion of someone who's going to be real with you about whether or not they like your shoes with that dress.

3.) Calling Each Other During A Crisis

Yes, we've all been here before. Whether you were the caller or the receiver, you still understand how essential this is to a friendship. It's good to have friends that will wake up when you know you call at 2am with your latest mistake. Although, the real friends are the ones that will call you when they know you're having a tough time with a situation. Those are the keepers.

4.) Knowing Each Other's Favorite Foods and Drinks

There's always that one person in the squad who comes through with the morning coffees or after school Sonic runs without you even asking. It gets even better when they don't expect anything in return. I hope, for your sake, that there is a person like this in your group because they are God's gift to you and also because who doesn't love some coffee after an all nighter of studying?

5.)Being There For Each Other

Being there for each other is probably the biggest one of them all. If you don't support and help out your girls in their time of need, then you need to step up your game, sister. Don't be the person who is constantly asking for advice on your issues but not helping the others out during their times of need. Being there and lifting each other up is a big factor in a strong group and a strong friendship.

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!
