Being in love is great, but being in love with your best friend is even better.

Perks Of Being In Love With Your Best Friend
Tiffany Dewes

Being in love is an amazing thing, but being in love with your best friend is even more amazing, and here’s why:

1. You will always have someone to talk to.

That’s what best friends are for right? They are always there for you when you need someone to confide in, they tend to be the best listeners. When your best friend is also your significant other, they seem to listen even more. They really, truly care about what you have to say and how you are feeling. They also won’t lie to you just to make you happy or tell you what you want to hear. They tell you what you need to hear, when you need to hear it.

2. You will always have someone to hangout with.

Generally, your boyfriend or girlfriend will want to hangout with you most of the time, and so would a best friend. Having your significant other also be your best friend is great because chances are, when you want to do something or want to hangout with someone, they will be the first person to say yes. Even better, you never get sick of them. You could hangout all day and still be sad when you have to leave. You aren’t even home yet and you already miss them and you cannot wait to see them the next day.

3. You know that they really, truly love you.

Hopefully, your boyfriend or girlfriend does really love you, but a best friend HAS to love you. That’s why they are your best friend right? So having your significant other be your best friend means that love is guaranteed. Knowing you are loved is one of the best feelings in this entire world, and when you are dating your best friend you constantly feel like that. It is like walking on cloud nine.

4. Even when you fight, you know everything will be okay.

Everyone fights with their significant other, it is inevitable. Best friends fight as well, it isn’t fun, but it is normal. But when you fight with your best friend, everything will be okay. Unless someone really messed up, things will always get worked out because you love each other and cannot stand being upset with one another. You would rather be laughing and having fun than arguing, so fights tend to be resolved very quickly as well.

5. You can always count on them.

Your best friend will always have your back no matter what. You never have to worry about facing a problem alone, no matter how serious, they are there for you. That is one of the very best things about having a best friend, they never leave you in the dark. If anyone messes with you or if anything goes wrong, they will be one of the first people there to help you. They have seen you at some of your lowest points and they still love you. They might even love more because they have seen you at your worst and they have watched you rise up into the person that you are today.

Being in love is great, but being in love with your best friend is even better.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
