Friends are fantastic. Friends are the people you go to movies with, go on coffee dates with, and do homework with. Best friends, however, are so much more. Best friends are the people who know you better than anyone else and like you anyway. They're the ones you can be completely yourself around. Best friends are there when no one else is, and there are certain things that only your best friends will do.
1. Come over unannounced
Recommended for you
Because they really need no invitation.
2. Stay in with you
They understand that going out is fun, but staying in means you don't have to wear real pants.
3. Embarrass themselves with you
You tell yourselves you won't look dumb, as long as you're doing it together.
4. Call you out (lovingly)
Even though they love your shady tendencies, you need to know when you're taking it too far.
5. Be your Mom away from Mom
Someone has to bring you soup when you're sick and make sure you wear sunscreen when you go outside.
6. Be petty with you
True friends don't judge you for texting him "k," they applaud you for it.
7. Celebrate your accomplishments with you
Your best friend is one of your biggest supporters, and will be proud of you even if all you did was cook your own meal.
8. Buy you food
Either spotting you when you go out or picking you up french fries just because they love you.
9. Be brutally honest with you
Best friends let you know when your hair doesn't look good, or when your Instagram caption needs work.
10. Build you up when you're down
Your real friends are the ones who are there when you have a breakdown, and the ones who make sure you know everything's gonna be okay.
11. Really, really love you
Your best friends know everything, from your political views to your most embarrassing moment of 2008. You've had a million conversations about a million different things, and you've seen each other at your worst. You're both a little crazy, but that's okay because you get each other, and you'd do just about anything for your amazing best friend.
