An Open Letter to My Guy Best Friend

Well kid, we made to college…and let me tell you, I truly don’t know how I would be here without you. You’ve seen me through it all and somehow you’re still around. So here’s to our one in a million friendship and one hell of a guy.

Honestly, there are endless moments I need to thank you for, reasons every girl deserves a gem like you. So here are just a few…

1. Thank you for never starting drama in my life. For being the one person that I can tell anything too, and I mean ANYTHING

2. Thank you for letting me cry to you, whenever, no matter how ugly…

3. Thank you for your honest opinion, and for never sugar-coating it

4. Thank you for always listening and giving your endless advice


5. …And for comforting me after I don’t take that advice, followed with the “I told you so…”


6. Thank you for accepting me in every state, no matter what I look like


7. Thank you for making me feel more comfortable around you than almost anyone else in my life

8. Thank you for letting me annoy you when I feel the constant need for attention

9. Thank you for dropping whatever you are doing to hang out with me because I can only go so long without seeing you

10. Thank you for actually letting me watch movies and for always letting me pick the cheesy stuff

11. Thank you for laughing at how single we are while watching chick flicks

12. Thank you for sharing a million embarrassing moments with me, and still loving me even after you have to question our friendship

13. Thank you for your tough love, for putting me back on track after my rough patches

14. Thank you for keeping me grounded, and taking care of my broken pieces when life gets to be too much

15. Thank you for making me laugh when I thought a smile was impossible

16. Thank you for never giving up on me, even though I am a total pain in your ass

17. Thank you for opening doors for me when others were slammed in my face

18. Thank you for protecting me, for always having my back

19. Thank you for reminding me that I am worth so much more than the guy before

20. Thank you for showing me what love is, without the weirdness

So here we are, and I can without a doubt say that l am so lucky to have you in my life every day. Not once have you let me down and to know you’re in it for the long haul gives me comfort beyond words. You never fail to make me feel amazing. Our friendship is simply a hot mess and I know you wouldn’t want it any other way, because that is who we are. I wouldn’t dream of changing a thing.

So if I haven’t told you lately, thank you. Thank you for keeping me sane, and for showing me that life is better with a best friend by your side. Thank you for taking every step with me, and for making me a better and stronger person. Thank you for being you and in turn for shaping me.

Your Forever Grateful Best Friend

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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

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!
