Reasons Why My Best Friend is the Best

If making you my best friend didn't clue you into the fact that I think you're cool, then here are some reason to reenforce it.

Reasons Why My Best Friend is the Best
Natalee Hanway

Hey Best Friend. I know we're not mushy people, but since I've written some other little letters for our friends, I thought I should let you know some of the reasons that I adore you. Because honestly, I have no idea how I'd stay sane sometimes if it wasn't for you.

1. I don't have to explain myself.

I feel with most people I have to constantly explain my humor and clarify my meaning on 97% of what comes out of my mouth. You, on the other hand, speak my language. You just get what I'm saying, and even when you don't, you just roll with it. When I'm in the middle of one of my legendary rants, it's very nice not to be interrupted.

2. You hate everyone I hate.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's how we first bonded. We're not mean, but when we don't like you, we don't like you. Also having someone validate my immediate dislike for another person is great.

3. Our personalities even out.

I have major freak outs about things that don't bother you and visa versa. I mean, there are definitely times that we freak out together, but often there's a lull, or a grace period and we can take turns keeping each other calm/from snapping. Pretty sure that's the only reason we haven't completely lost it yet.

4. We're pretty tough.

Sometimes things get said or done that can lead to petty arguments or fighting. By now, I think we're pretty clear that we don't hate the other and can take a bit of criticism or tough love.

5. We have different interests.

While, yeah, we're pretty similar; we're also very different. Sometimes friendships can end because you spend too much time with someone or you're just too alike. And while we're alike and agree on a lot, we're also different, and that's amazing too.

6. We keep each other in check.

Sometimes I make questionable decisions, and sometimes I need to be told that I'm being crazy. Being a girl is hard, and being a girl in college is twice as hard. You keep me from being too crazy, and too forward. Evening someone out is one thing when you're just with them, and being able to be honest and keep someone from going too far is something else.

7. We respect each other.

Even when we argue (which we rarely do), there's still respect. Even when I get mad at you (which again, rarely happens) there is still respect. You're so kind, and honest, and completely yourself. You don't let boys dictate our life or tell you who to be. You are100% dedicated to going after what you want, and I respect the hell out of that.

Stay sassy, and remember that you're a gem.

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
