Life is hard. Growing up is hard. College is hard. Everything is basically hard. What makes everything so great even when it is hard are your friends. Whether you have one hundred friends, or just two or three friends, they always make life suck a little less. Everybody needs just one friend to be able to talk to, vent to, cry to, or whatever helps you with your day.

1. Have a friend that will jam out with you.

Whether it is to K-Love or Kane Brown, jam sessions always relieve some stress.

2. Have a friend that will pray with you, and for you.

The friendship I have with the ones I can pray in front of are the most meaningful friendships I have.

3. Have a friend that answers your call at 2 a.m. because you're crying.

If it is over a boy or because your hateful roommate threw away your leftovers, a friend that answers any of your crazy phone calls is worth having.

4. Have a friend that is brutally honest.

Well, in my case, I'm the brutally honest one and I will tell you how I feel whether you like it or not (ask my Big). I only want the best for you.

5. Have a friend that listens to you.

Everybody needs somebody to just talk to, and get their feelings out. Even if its your boyfriend, it's always nice to be able to talk about how you feel.

6. Have somebody that will make time for you, not just somebody that only has time for you when they're free.

Seriously. I want to have a friend that makes time for me instead of only hanging out with me when they aren't busy.

7. Have a friend to share closets with.

Girls, this is actually very important. What about that big date with your dream crush and your broke and have no money for a cute new outfit. Sharing is caring, unless its food.

8. Have a friend that is always down for Mexican.

Chips and salsa, or cheese dip for me, is life.

9. Have a friend of the other gender. Always.

Opinions of a different mind set are great. Girls minds are almost all the same. Boys on the other hands...well we all knows boys are a little different, so it's nice to hear their opinions sometimes. Especially if you're having trouble with a boy.

10. Have a friend that truly loves and cares for you.

When you love someone, you only want the best for them in life. When you care about someone, you make efforts to help them be the best they can be. That's my favorite quality in my few friends. They care about me so when they see me doing something stupid, they tell me. If they know I'm in the wrong, they tell me. Especially my boyfriend; he's really good at telling me when I'm wrong.

So maybe you have great friends like mine, or maybe you don't have friends as great as mine. But you should always have just one that you trust. Friends really do make life suck less.
