Why Long Distance Friendships Are The Best Friendships
Vulture

I've found that long-distance friendships can mean more than the relationships we have that are physically close to us. By having a friend that used to live 10 minutes down the road to across the state or even country can be hard. But, I have found that true friendships do prevail and most likely will be there for life.

1. You find out who matters the most.

When friendships are split up by distance, you really know which friends fade away and which ones will be there for the long run.

2. When your lives get busy, it's ok if you don't talk for a while.

You two can stand the test of time and pick up like no time has passed at all.

3. You appreciate them more.

You realize how amazing you had it when you guys lived close and will never take summers home for granted again.

4. Therapy sessions in phone calls.

Your best friends might as well go to the same college as you, they know what you eat, when you failed your first test and all of your boy and new friend drama.

5. They get along with your new friends.

When you introduce each other's new friends to one another they hit it off as well as you two did when you first met.

6. Reunions are the best.

When you and your best friend from home reunite the feeling is like no other. It is like having your other half back, the person who just gets you.

7. Nobody can replace them.

No matter where you and your best friend end up you two change and grow, yet never grow apart. They are irreplaceable and the void would be noticeable if they weren't there.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
