Why I Love My Girl Squad
Steve Baker

I've never really been a ‘people person.' That's not to say I don't like people, I've just never been one of those girls with a million different friends. I'm shy, sarcastic, and a little bit brash, so people can be a bit taken aback and assume that I'm much meaner than I am. (Really, I promise I'm not!)

Instead of having a million friends, I have six sisters. These girls have been a part of my life for as long as twelve years, and as little as two years, but they're some of the most important people in my life.

What makes us special is how different we all are. One of the girls is going to be on SNL some day, she gives Kate McKinnon a run for her money. One is going to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and one is going to be the best field agent the FBI has ever seen.

We're all different, none of us are going to be majoring in the same field, and a lot of us aren't even applying to the same schools. We all found each other in different ways, whether it be a group of lifelong friends meeting up with us during lunch and deciding to stick around for 5 years, or an atrocious ex boyfriend leading us to bond over angry Kanye music and Halo Top ice cream.

We stay together because we need each other. We've grown together, all of our roots are intertwined. I know I'll always have someone to straighten the parts of my hair that I miss, or take me to cool bead stores to buy new bracelets. There will always be someone who will listen to me when I need to complain about a death on “Stranger Things,” and I'll always be there to control the aux while they drive, or rename our seasonally themed group chat.

Sooner or later, we're all going to be in different time zones, were all going to have jobs, we're all going to make new friends. At the end of the day, we all know that we'll always be watching the newest “American Horror Story” episode together, even if it's over Skype, and we're all only one Bitmoji text away.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
