6 Types Of Friendships As Told By Chemical Reactions
We've Got Chemistry

You and your friends have chemistry, no doubt about it. So what better way to pay homage to all your friends than by personifying them through various chemical reactions? Sounds perfectly nerdy to me!

1. Food- based Friendships

Lets start with the basics—and something that every friendship undoubtedly bonds over—food. Here's a pretty simple reaction that I guarantee delivers a sweet and delectable taste to the rest of the world, just like your friendship. Literally, your friendship feeds your soul.

2. The Explosive Friendships

Here's to the friendships that are intense. So intense that even those around you can see that there is a mutual passion and connection between you and your bud. But watch out, even the simplest of fights can make you two explode with rage.

3. The Passive-Aggressive Friendships

Passive-aggressiveness isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when it interferes with the way you and your comrades communicate, we've got an issue. Here's a good chemical reaction to show you the danger of passive-aggressiveness. You two are the milk and the food coloring. And conflict is the q-tip dipped in dish soap.

Run away!!

4. The Undefined Friendships

So you two have been friends for awhile, but anytime someone asks you what you are, not even you two know! Romantic or not, this kind of relationship keeps you two guessing. And although sometimes, you wish you could finally just "define the relationship," truth is, this friendship style works for you. (Plus, it's kind of exciting!)

Just like this cyclohexane at its triple point, you don't know what state you and your friend should be in. So why not be at all three?

5. The Protective Friends

We all have friends like this! You know that if any creeper or sketchy character even looks at your friend, you've got his/ her back. You're a pro at making the creepers disappear, just like what this glycerol does to the pyrex test tube.

6. The Pretty Friend

Just kidding. Your whole squad is pretty! Your group is the epitome of #squadgoals and when you're together, you make each other sparkle. Like this double replacement reaction between lead nitrate and potassium iodide dissolved in water. Basically, your group is the lead iodide (the product of this reaction, a.k.a. the gold flakes you see) of the world. Congratulations.

Side note: It is okay to be the Bill Nye of your friend group! Though all these reactions are pretty and interesting to look at (one could even say pretty interesting, if you will), I urge you to click on the highlighted links to learn a little bit more about them. I swear I didn't attach any complicated science papers, and for many of these, you could even try them at home! Yes, I'm lookin' at you, cinnamon rolls.

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.
