13 Sacrifices We All Make For Our Best Friends

They may drive us crazy sometimes, but we've gotta love 'em.

13 Sacrifices We All Make For Our Best Friends
Jade Masri

We all have those best friends that we love to death. You know, the ones you'll do even the most random things for - even if it means picking up a FaceTime call at 2 a.m. to go get Steak 'n Shake. These are the people that you expect to be at your wedding; the people you call up whenever you're in need, or you simply just have a funny story to tell. The people you'd do absolutely anything for.

Having a relationship with someone in which you're best friends with that person is one of the most incredible experiences one could have. I know that my best friends will always be there for me no matter the situation, and I pray that they know I will always be there for them as well. My friends are family to me, and just like family, they can drive me crazy sometimes.

Having best friends is truly a blessing; however, sometimes it can be a curse. I know for a fact that there have been times where my best friends have made me want to pull my hair out (or theirs to be honest.) But these people are just too important to me for me to complain.

Here are some funny things that we all deal with when we have best friends - I think we can all relate to at least a few.

1. Changing your outfit when you walk out wearing the same clothes.

2. Going out when you really don't want to.


3. Accompanying him/her to appointments when you definitely have other things to do.

4. Getting food even though you're broke and not even hungry.

5. Making bad decisions just for his/her entertainment.

6. Doing your hair and makeup and getting dressed just for Instagram photos.

7. Following his/her ex so he/she can still stalk him/her.

8. Putting up with hearing the same story 15 times.

9. Telling a restaurant it's his/her birthday to get him/her a free dessert.

10. Giving advice on what to answer a love interest's text.

11. Staying up late and sacrificing sleep because you have to comfort him/her.

12. Saying you're REALLY going to start going to the gym this time.

13. Spending all of your money on him/her because you just love him/her so dang much.

I could quite literally sit at my desk all day and compile a list of the hundreds of things I do for my best friends on the daily. At the end of the day, I just want to say a huge "thank you" to those people in my life that have remained constant. You all may be a pain sometimes, but you truly are all the MVPs. I wouldn't want to live a life without you all in it.

So here's an ode (or a listicle) to all the best friends out there that make us do crazy things - we love you!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
