It's that time of the year again when it is getting so cold out, you would rather stay in than risk frostbite from walking outside on the weekends. But your best friend gets rides everywhere at her school, and you think, "I could work with that." So, that weekend, you jump in your car for the two hour drive and are ready for a great freakin' weekend.
You love her friends.
Where have these girls been all of your life? They are hilarious and update you on every stupid thing your best friend has done over the past few months that she’s been unable to remember. They include you in all of their pictures, because you are one of them, now. They let you use all their stuff and check out their clothes and you think, “Wow, my own friends aren’t even this generous.”
You say something you shouldn't.
This one goes out to that girl who is not very nice to your friend. And being you, you just have to something because no one gets away with that. Your best friend is prettier than Cinderella and has a face like sunshine so, basically, no one is going to be better than her. Add your own personal touch to this one, because you only get one shot to make this girl regret she ever messed with your best friend.
You make another best friend.
All of a sudden your best friend cannot find you anywhere and you are with this girl. You swear on your life that this girl is your separated-at-birth sister. This girl usually comes in the form of your best friend’s friend, so of course you love her. It is a pretty beautiful thing to watch the three best friends that anyone could have dance on an elevated surface to Blank Space.
You lose something.
Want to know the worst part of visiting? You will probably lose something. Whether it’s your phone, favorite lipstick, a piece of jewelry or your own dignity, it is not coming back. I just hope you gave it a kiss goodbye. Except for the phone. You search high and low for that thing because those are expensive and you will never get back those selfies of your roommates on their ugly days.
You order something.
You better believe you are getting that pizza sometime over the weekend. Your friend is just the sweetest and because you are the guest, she pays. Just make sure you stay up til the pizza arrives or else your friend will end up awkwardly eating the pizza with the girl across the hall she barely knows.
You will be back.
You wake up in the morning and think to your self -- I did it, I made it. You wake up your friend at an insanely early hour for a weekend to ask if she has any water because you are dying. After you recuperate, you are on your way, but not before you start planning the next time you will be back to run the town with your best friend. And you probably forgot your straightener, so you will have to go back for that, too.
