Thank You For Being My Best Friends

I owe my friends everything, especially a thank you.

To my best friends:

I don't know about you, but my friends are one of the biggest parts of my life. They are my biggest support system to fall back on when things are going sour, and always there for me when I'm on cloud nine. Being a best friend is a thankless job. You have to deal with one another on a very personal level. But as with anything - with great work comes an even better reward. Here is a thank you to my best friends!

Thank you for:

1. Sharing your fries with me even when you didn't want to

because I was probably gonna take them anyways.

2. Actually telling me when my outfit looks ugly.

5. Letting your closet be my closet.

and for letting me *basically* keep those pair of leggings you lent me.

6. "I look fat in this pic can we take another?"

7. "Can you hand my water bottle? I'm in bed."

8. Still loving me even when I don't reply to your texts.

or when I text you a million times in a row.

9. Sitting through countless episodes of my favorite TV show even though you can't stand it.

10. Covering me for coffee.

And fro yo, and pizza and that entire dinner last month

11. And not getting mad when I forget to pay you back.

because it all evens out in the end, right?

12. Laughing at all my jokes.

13. Even when my jokes aren't funny.

Because I'm hilarious even when I'm not.

14. Helping me clean my messy room.

15. Listening to me complain about guys.

All guys are dumb

16. And for never judging me when I went back to boys whom you told me were bad news.

17. Laughing at all my stupid antics.

18. Keeping me company when I run errands.

because a target trip is much more fun with my best friends

19. Lifting me up when I'm sad.

20. Celebrating with me when I'm happy.

21. and keeping me grounded when I get a big head

Thanks for keeping me humble.

22. Letting me pick the music when we are getting ready, even though you don't like it.

23. Being the most amazing friend a girl could ask for.

I love you all forever!

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...
