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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
