How It Feels To Date Your Best Friend
FanPop

Dating your best friend is like living in that romantic teen movie that people love to hate and hate to love. You find happiness in each other’s presence, you hold the same wishes and desires. Your conversations range from dramatic, to stupid, to silly and to serious all within minutes.

Dating your best friend is something everyone should strive for. You can argue like everyone else, but for the most part, you’re searching for the newest place to eat, staying home on a Saturday night in your sweatpants to watch a movie, or gossiping about the drama that surrounds you both which you laugh at.

Having such an unbreakable and remarkable chemistry with another human being is indescribable. It’s more than just a relationship; it is a physical and emotional connectedness that cannot be broken.

To be honest, a relationship like this is scary, almost terrifying, actually. You’re lost in what seems to be a never ending cycle of mayhem. You want to be with them for every reason in the book and you’re lost without their guidance. They become your shining star that shows you the path to success, and suddenly their dreams and passions encompass yours and you form a new life together. They know every detail about you down to the very first dream you can remember and they’ve seen you at your weakest moment. If you’re lucky enough to be dating your best friend though, they have walked you through each step and have helped you surpass every challenge you’ve faced.

For you, they climbed mountains and crossed rivers, and little did you know - they were afraid of heights and they couldn’t swim.

Your friends and their friends are now referred to as “our friends”. And if they aren’t around, nights out don’t seem as fun. You would do anything just to sit at home with them and cuddle the night away. There is no confusion, no questioning, and no distrust. You are each other’s everything and you would have it no other way.

If the foundation of your relationship revolves around inside jokes, memories and secret stories, comfortability, love, and support, you have been lucky enough to date your best friend.

Be thankful, be loving, and be

grateful. You’re lucky to have someone who loves you more than you could possibly ever imagine.

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?
