How special is it to have a best friend that you can be your goofy self around? There are countless things you should thank your best friend for. Knowing my best friend since the young age of 5, we've definitely had a lot of adventures along the way including anything and everything from boy drama, major and minor meltdowns to countless more memories. Sometimes you don't even have to tell them you did something dumb, you can just give them that look and they already know. They teach you life lessons along the way, and you do more stupid things to learn more life lessons.

Your best friend knows everything about you, whether it's your favorite color or your most loved song from that one album that you were obsessed with the singer five years back. They're there for you when you accidentally light your kitchen on fire while you're home alone (true story), and when you just want to get slurpees because you're bored watching that one Grey's Anatomy episode for the 4th time.

Your best friend is basically considered family more than anything and they're incredibly special to you, so let them know they are:

1. For being painfully honest with you, even when it was hard to hear.

2. For going on those late night and early morning McDonalds runs with you.

3. For already knowing your Starbucks order and surprising you.

4. For being there to convince you to buy that $22 Bath & Body works candle because you can never have too many.

5. For spending countless days with you watching Buzzfeed videos all day while binge eating ice cream.

6. For answering your frantic calls to tell her about the girl who showed up in his Snapchat Story.

7. For helping each other get ready for dates, homecomings and proms 12 hours before the actual event starts.

8. For being each others unofficial fashion consultant and telling it how it is.

9. For planning each of our future weddings and dream homes via Pinterest.

10. For being there through it all, for picking you up when you're down, for all the adventures, and mostly, for being your best friend and sister in the whole world.
