1. You hold each other to a certain standard.
You expect the same things out of each other. That means being a good friend, how you decide to treat others, and being loyal. Double standards do not exist in your friendship, it is an all-or-nothing kind of deal.

2. You are bluntly honest with each other.
If one of you is being unbelievably naive or immature, you can bet your biscuit your best friend is going to call you out on it. A best friend is not going to let you chase down something that will inevitably hurt you down the road. Plus if there is something in your teeth you can trust they won't let you walk around talking to people like that.

3. You support each other, no matter what.
It does not matter what you did, your best friend will not only love you but they will help you figure out a remedy. Perhaps you're going to go do something dumb-- your best friend is by your side ready to go down with you. Who knows, they may even end up in the shoe with you.

4. They are your favorite source of entertainment
From their obnoxious singing, to their daily shift driving the struggle bus-- there is no one who you enjoy spending time with more. When you're together you laugh until you cry and then you laugh even more because you're crying. It's a truly vicious cycle.

5. They're your go-to person
Need someone to get fast food with you at 1a.m.? No one is more down. While they may complain, they will always go do your errands with you as you will with them. As long as you're together, you couldn't be happier.

6. Time/ Distance apart doesn't mean jack
So you haven't seen each other since who knows when, it has zero affect on your friendship. Oceans apart or a mile away, you will always pick up right where you left off.

7. There is nothing you wouldn't do for each other
Seriously you two have no limits. Dealing with your (mildly insane) family? Check. Take care of you when you don't feel so hot? Check. Go to jail with you? Hopefully not, but still, check!
