A Letter To My Best Friend

Because diamonds just don't cut it.

A Letter To My Best Friend
Huffington Post

Best friend,

You are truly a gift from some higher power. You are my sister, my partner in crime, my Netflix buddy, my therapist, my spellcheck, my editor, and the best boyfriend I’m ever going to have. Now of course I’m kidding, seeing as we are not in a relationship.

But you are an amazing person who makes me feel just as amazing. As a best friend you strike that perfect balance: supporting my decisions, but also knowing when to tell me my ideas are stupid. We like most of the same things, but our differences never seem to get in the way. We can acknowledge each other's opinions while also discussing, but knowing when we've gone too far. That being said, I love how we hate the same things. I vent to you and you complain to me in a way that is therapeutic and often times highly amusing for the listener. At the end of the day, I can just be myself around you.

We are like the two sides of the same coin. We fill in the gaps and weaknesses of the other in a perfect team. I swear batman and robin would envious us. You make me laugh like no one can because we have accumulated years of inside jokes and shared memories.

How lucky am I to have a best friend like you. Someone who doesn’t mind when I repeatedly hit them in the movie theater when a good preview comes on. Someone who doesn’t mind holding my hair when I throw up from too many shots. Someone who doesn’t judge me when I say “Let’s go get McDonald’s” at 1 am in the morning; because you had been thinking about it for two hours already. Someone who I can just let go and be utterly stupid with.

Every girl needs a best friend, to fill that place in her heart that only a friend can. To mend her heart when it is broken, or to make her heart swell with encouragement. Someone to share secrets with, someone to laugh with until you can’t breathe and you nearly pee yourself. Someone to go on road trips with and sing terribly in the car together. Every girl needs a best friend, and I’m so glad that you’re mine.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
