7 Reasons Why My Boyfriend Is My Best Friend

Kaylee Wescott

There are many reasons that I’m so happy to have my boyfriend also be my best friend. While some people may consider these things “boyfriend traits” or “best friend traits”, I consider them both. Many things are important to being a best friend, some of these things are....

1. Distance doesn’t matter

There is no amount of time without seeing each other that makes anything in our relationship change. Everything is exactly the same the next time we see each other and always includes a big hug.

2. Laughter is necessary

I don’t think there is many days where he doesn’t ensure the fact that I laugh about something. For no particular reason, I am forced to laugh simply because he wants me to be happy.

3. Reminders

I’m always constantly worrying about all the things I have to do. He’s always there to remind me to take things one at a time and to take breaks from everything.

4. Listening to all my rants

If there’s one thing he’s good at its listening to me talk about everything. It doesn’t matter what it is, he’s always there to listen and offer his two sense on anything.

5. Giving me tough love

Everyone needs a friend in their life that will say what you need to hear rather than you want to hear. I don’t always like it but I’m glad he does it.

6. Always being willing to get food with me

Everyone loves food. Having food with people you love is even better though. Especially when you can have any amount of food you want without it mattering.

7. Being reliable

Being friends at various points in time before having a relationship with my boyfriend makes him such a reliable best friend to have. He’s been there in the past so I know he’ll be there in the future.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
