5 Things You Probably Haven't Thanked Your BFF For
Grace Kim

Let's face it, without our best friends, we would be horribly lost in life. Utterly dead inside. Without friends, life isn't worth living, and that's the honest truth. We're so close to the point where a "sorry" is not necessary when you "accidentally" push them. A needed "thank you" is forgotten every once in a while. These are five things you should probably thank your best friend for - IMMEDIATELY!

1. Their bluntness (a.k.a. the truth).

This, right here, is so important. Yes, it stings a little when they say your favorite top is actually not that cute and even makes you look fat. But, how much better is it that your best friend said it to you rather than a guy, or even a stranger? Honestly, I've even gotten "you are so ugly" a couple of times, but bless them because the days I actually look good is equal to countless compliments.

2. Their willingness to change sexuality for a night.

Have you ever thanked your friend for pretending to be lesbian, saving you from the very creepy boy(s) at a party? Not once, not twice, but multiple times? I don't think so. It's time to thank them.

3. Their photography skills.

Literally, 10/10 of my pictures on Instagram were taken by my best friends. I'm not sure how it happens, but somehow they become better photographers than professionals, and your pictures turn out AMAZING. To say it bluntly, you would not be getting all those DM's without your best friend.

4. Their stupidity.

This one. I need to thank my best friend, right now. Without her, I would be laugh-less and would not understand what stupid is. Don't get me wrong, she's an intelligent, strong, and independent woman ... who has her moments. Have you ever been asked whether Philadelphia was a state or city? What about watching her have a eureka moment on how pickles are just cucumbers? Of course, she isn't the only stupid one; we influence each other to become the better stupid.

5. Their existence.

Without them, you would be nothing. Admit it! Who else can you see 24/7 without going crazy? Who would you rant to about how underrated white chocolate is? Who would protect you from all the wrong guys and lead you towards the right guys? No one. So go, take a cheesy moment, and thank your friend for existing.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
