9 Things We All Do With Our Best Friends As Told By 'New Girl' Characters
Thought Catalog

Best friends make life so much more lively. Having someone you're so comfortable with and that knows the real you makes for a connection that can never be found anywhere else. Here are a few things that special best-friend-connection brings along:

1. Have the best inside jokes that nobody will ever understand.

Who else knows about that one embarrassing time in third grade and brings it up in normal conversation? Good laughs come from good memories, and you've shared a lot of those with your best friend throughout your time together.

2. Take a nap at their place and call it "hanging out."

Who else are you this comfortable with? Best friends are the perfect people to just hang out and chill with when you feel like recharging. Plus, they won't question it.

3. You always do stuff with them because they make it fun.

It's always a good time when you have your partner in crime right by your side. They bring extra laughs and more fun!

4. Even after a long time of not seeing each other, you can talk like you never left.

Best friends just get it. You both know you won't be able to talk every day and that's alright. You miss each other and always think of one another, but you know as soon as you see them again, it's like there was never any space between you two.

5. You don't need to look nice in front of them because they've seen you at your worst already.

They've seen you after your breakups and after your favorite show's finale. There is absolutely no need to worry about what you look like in front of them, they love you for you.

6. Tell people you're related because you basically are.

People see you guys together all the time, so besides being mistaken as a couple, you're also mistaken as siblings or cousins. But I mean, they're basically right, right?

7. Share secrets without worrying about anybody finding out.

You don't even have to tell them to not tell anyone else—they just know. They respect your privacy and you respect theirs, so they keep your secrets and help you when no one else can.

8. Ask them for honest advice about relationships.

You know it's a big deal when your best friend does (or doesn't) like your significant other. Your best friend, of all people, knows how well you deserve to be treated and if this person doesn't make the cut, then maybe you should step cautiously.

9. Tell them how much you love and appreciate them without hesitating.

This is someone you know you want to spend time with. You want to see them for the rest of your life. So tell them how much you love them and appreciate them because life doesn't last forever. Friends were made to love and be loved.

Written for my best friend, Lauren.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
