For the last 3 ears of college, I have lived with my best friend and we have seen the best and worst of each other but yet somehow we still seem to like one another. We've been friends since middle school and when we decided to make the great leap of rooming together in college everyone doubted us. They just knew that we'd get sick of one another but I can proudly say to all the neigh sayers that we're still rooming together and we don't hate each other. Are there times where we want to smack one another, probably, but I wouldn't trade that for anything. So I just want to give you some reasons as to why having a best friend is the best.
1. You always have someone to encourage you
Recommended for you
2. They also encourage you to "Treat Yo Self!"
Think of a cute shirt that is just screaming for you to buy but you know you don't need it. Well, sometimes times you deserve to do something nice for yourself and that's why your bestie is there to remind you that you can go ahead and Treat. Yo. Self!
3.You Love to embarrass Each Other
Need I say more?
4. They'll be there for you during breakups
Significant others may be temporary, but who will always be there to pick you up off your butt and then share a gallon of ice cream with you while talking about why your ex is just the worst for hours? Your best friend obviously. Best friends will always come first and be there for you even in the worst of times.
5.You can relate about hating to mingle with people
Why mingle when you can just hang out with each other and other close friends? People are the worst.
6. They'll try their best to understand your obsessions
7. You'll always have someone to eat breakfast with
It does not matter what hour of the day it is, for the two of you, breakfast is always a necessity. Whether it be early in the morning or late into the evening hours, breakfast is a must.
8. People will think you're idiots
9. Many will question your sanity
10. They are the Postive Polly to your Negative Nancy
11. Your guaranteed to have someone to party with
12. They will be very involved with your life
They know you better than you know yourself and they're going to keep it that way. They will be right there with you giving advice whether you want it or not. They will have a say in your personal life outside of your friendship. It may sound awful but trust me you'll thank them later and question why you did listen to them sooner.
13. They'll be your backup against the idiots of the world
Because let's be honest, people are just dumb and with your best friend, you can conquer them all.
14. They're probably one of the few people who actually like the real you
And when I say this I mean, the real you. Not the you that people see in public but the obnoxious, angsty, or just plain weird you. If people knew the real me I'm not sure I'd have many friends but that's the great part about having someone who just gets you and there's no issue about covering up the bitter old soul you may be.
15. No What What You'll Always Have Each Other
Eventually, you must go your own way but you'll never forget all of the great memories you made together and no matter how far away you move from each other you'll know they will be there for you in a heartbeat. I myself am so grateful to have spent so much time with my best friend because not everyone is lucky enough to meet someone and be friends with them for years. You'd think we'd get sick of each other but for whatever reason, we're still friends. Maybe it's because no one can handle our weirdness.
So there you have it. These were just a few reasons as to why having a best friend is, well, the best. So continue on and be the ass kick duo that you are.
