7 Differences Between Your Best Friend And Other Friends
Her Campus

Most people have friends, but aren't as close with them as they are with their best friends. There are several key differences that determine your best friends versus your regular friends.

1. Your best friend is not afraid to tell you if you look like a walking piece of garbage.

Obviously you want your bestie looking her best, and would never let her settle for less than that. A regular friend would always tell you that you look nice, out of politeness, when in reality, that yellow shirt does not compliment your skin tone at all.

2. Your best friend will always help you determine what pictures are Insta-worthy.

Again, you are always there to help your friend present herself in the best way possible. Even if you send her 23 pictures of the same selfie, she will determine which one has the best lighting. A regular friend on the other hand, would probably say something like, "Well, they all look nice, so it won't matter which one you post." Wrong.

3. You and your best friend aren't afraid to change in front of each other.

When getting ready for a night out, you know darn well that there will be hella outfit changes which are happening in the same room. A regular friend would be uncomfortable and probably go change in a bathroom, thus, slowing down the process.

4. You and your best friend know the tiniest details about each other's lives.

I am talking about knowing that her great-aunt Jane's 85th birthday is August 11th, or knowing exactly when your pal is due for her week-long monthly gift from Mother Nature. A regular friend is not as involved in your life, and she probably does not care as much.

5. You have probably seen all of the text exchanges between your best friend and her significant other.

And to be honest, you probably crafted half of her responses. A regular friend probably would not get as much exclusive information as you do on this topic.

6. You are probably too comfortable around each other that it kinda scares people off.

It is completely normal to send snapchats to each other on the toilet or with one of those ridiculously gross filter,s rather than looking halfway decent for an acquaintance. The worst is accidentally sending that ugly picture to a normal friend that was supposed to go to your best friend. Awkward!

7. No matter how sticky the situation, a best friend will never leave your side.

Through hell and back, your best friend is guaranteed to be by your side. You have each other's trust and will do anything and everything to help each other out in times of need. That's what best friends are for, right?

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.
