Your Best Friend Might Be Your Soulmate

No, we're not dating, but we might as well be.

Your Best Friend Might Be Your Soulmate
Nicole Infantes

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake, and James Franco and Seth Rogen are just a few examples of the ultimate best friend goals. You can't have one without the other.

Having best friends is the best feeling in the world! You know there's always someone in your corner during the good and the bad. People are always on the hunt for their romantic soulmate, but I think finding a friend-soulmate is just as special. These people bring out the best in you and let you be your goofy self with no judgement!

You have your own language

Whenever other people are around you two, they hardly understand what you're talking about. There's just no time to explain all the stories and inside jokes, which leaves others completely lost. While you're crying from laughter, everyone else is wondering what they've missed. All you did was clap once and then the two of you burst into hysterics. When it comes to you two, words aren't always necessary to know what the other is talking about.

You feel what they feel

In your eyes, your friend-soulmate is the best human in the world! If you could control it, nothing bad would ever happen to them. But no matter what happens, you're there to talk to them, or just to listen. When they cry, you do, too, and when they're happy, so are you! Sometimes, you may even be more affected than they are. You have such a connection that some people even mistake you for a real couple.

You constantly tease each other

Just like siblings, you're always making fun of each other. Other people might think you're really mean, but you know that your friend actually loves you. However, no one else is allowed to say what you say to your best friend. At the end of the day, you can mock them for never being on time and they can mock you for taking your shoes off no matter where you are. You've learned to accept each other's weirdness, but not without cracking a few jokes first!

You're in each other's relationships

You guys are a package deal, and that means that when one of you is in a relationship, you both are! You know everything there is to know about the relationship. Sometimes you're the one texting their significant other. When the three of you get together, they may occasionally feel like the third wheel. Since neither of you are going anywhere, they just need to accept it.

You never judge each other

You trust them with your most embarrassing stories and they trust you with all of theirs. When it comes to the two of you, no topic is off limits: Even poop. You tell this person everything. Sometimes you even become each other's doctors, because going to the real doctor means there's something actually wrong with you. Nothing you tell them will gross them out or make them think differently of you. You may be dysfunctional, but you're dysfunctional together.

No matter what you're doing with your friend-soulmate, you always have a good time! You can't imagine your life without them, and you're always talking about what life will be like in the future. It's as if your friendship was destined to happen! Even if you don't see each other all the time, when you do, nothing has changed, and you pick up right where you left off. I'm still looking for my romantic soulmate, but I already found a few friend-soulmates along the way.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
