If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

1. When you see each other after a hiatus it is like no time has passed.

Regardless of what you may have gone through, nothing can change the banter and personal communication you and your friends share. Nothing feels awkward or forced because you are having too much fun catching up!

2. You plan your outings around each other's schedules.

Your friend's work schedules or class schedules are memorized like the back of your hand. They are your priority, and you will do anything you can to get them to join you on adventures when it is convenient to do so.

3. You say 'I love you' on the phone.

Yes, you may say it in real life too, but saying it after a phone call means it has become a customary for you to validate your appreciate for one other. Like a significant other or family member, you feel the desire to express your love at the end of a conversation.

4. Nothing is boring when you are together.

No matter what you do together, you always have a good time. Why? Because your friends' company is all you need. With the right people, you can make any situation memorable.

5. You share weird inside jokes no one else understands.

And you would like to keep it that way. If you are anything like my friend group, we share a strange family dynamic that has lasted as a running joke forever. No matter what it is, your inside jokes and sly smirks will keep the spirits up for ages.

6. You plan to hang out for a couple hours but end up together the entire day.

So now you just expect it and prepare for a 24-hour long get-together. Naps are often a part of the agenda.

7. The hugs say a thousand words.

Perhaps you do it a little too much, but the hugs you share are always meaningful and comforting. Gotta love those group hugs especially!

8. You go on spontaneous adventures together.

It is where your favorite memories come from. Even though you might not be able to do them as much as you would like, you are always down for a trip, big or small, with the group.

9. You consider each other family.

Because you consider each other family, you treat each other like family. Constant love, constant support, and a tremendous amount of meals spent together.

10. They make you a better person.

It is not a special friend group unless you learn from one another. You had to be selective when choosing your friends and when you did, you felt like they could teach you a thing or two. Their actions influence who you are and you could not be more thankful.

11. You can't imagine life without them.

The very thought scares you and sends your heart racing. Thankfully, the ultimate friend group is right there with you so you never have to second-guess their loyalty. Instead, you can bask in the glory that is your ultimate friend group. #squadgoals.
