7 Best Things About Having A Long Distance Best Friend
Rebecca Wood

Coming to college, you end up meeting endless friends and hopefully a few really good friends. But nothing beats seeing your best friend from home, who has literally seen you from your awkward stage into your glow-up stage. I think it's best for all of us to acknowledge some of the greatest things about them.

1. You have more of a reason to go home

No doubt, the moment you go home you hop in the car to pick up your best friend. Not a moment can be wasted because you know you are in for a long night of laughing, crying and just talking.

2. You have a non-biased opinion

When you need life advice about drama or a boy, your friend is right there to share her view on it. Yet they always ends with "but regardless, I support whatever decision you make", even if they doesn't agree.

3. Visiting your favorite places when at home together is even more fun than before

You had those places you spent nights hanging out with friends, talking until 2am or just driving around. These places are even more fun to visit now because they just give you the feels again.

4. They are always honest with you

*sends a pic of text conversation*

"Am I being psycho?"

"Yea kinda but like I would have said the same thing"

5. You get excited about the other person's life events

Okay "life events" as in I met a boy last night who could be a potential husband. You both freak out and want to know every detail of the night. Then this crush is over in approximately 48 hours.

6. You can call without warning

And at any time.

7. Through it all, you know they are always there for you

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
