7 things to look for in a best friend

A best friend is something that only comes once in a blue moon, and once you find a good one you should hold on tight. There are lots of people out there that you could choose from but these are some of the qualities that I look for in my best friends. They aren't make or break, but they are some good qualities to have on your radar when searching for a bestie for the resties.

Loves Jesus.

Giphy

For me, this is the most important quality. Finding someone who loves Jesus as much as I do has been a major blessing. Friends that push you toward the Lord and are encouraging are genuinely the best kind of friends, and I'm thankful I have a couple of these as they really push me to be a better version of myself.

Down for Anything.

This is another good quality because friends that will drop almost anything and come hang out with you whether it be for an adventure or a night of nothing must really love you. They are also the kinds of friends that make life a lot more fun.

Funny.

Giphy

A friend that cracks you up is LiTeRaLlY so great. There is nothing better than belly laughing at next to nothing with a friend. Everything from inside jokes to next to nothing, its all better when you have someone laughing equally as hard next to you. You both think that the other one is the funniest person in the world and there is almost nothing better.

Kind.

Giphy

Everybody loves kind people. They are selfless and put your needs in front of their own a lot of the time. Kind friends will love you through almost all of your trials and will never leave you to fend for yourself.

Adventurous.

Giphy

Adventure is so fun and someone who is down to clown for any and all adventures is the best. They make life more fun and your friendship gets stronger because you go through so many crazy things side by side. Adventurous friends are good friends to have.

Loyal.

Almost nothing is better than a friend who is really loyal to you. They are by your side through thick and thin and will never leave you. Any differences you have, you always get through and your friendship bounces back stronger than it was before. you are there for each other no matter what.

Friendly.

Giphy

It would seem obvious that a best friend should be friendly but I figured I would say it anyway. A friendly best friend Is great because when someone shows up to hang out with you guys, they are welcoming and open to bringing this new friend into your pack. Plus, they can talk to a wall so you don't always feel like you have to keep the conversation going.

Obviously, all these qualities are optional but I know I have a couple friends who check all these boxes and they are some of the best people that have come into my life. I love my friends and I hope this list helps you find some that are as great as mine are!

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.

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.
