Three years ago I found out we had a new international student in my junior class at my high school. What I didn't know was that this new girl from Norway was going to become my best friend. Here are 10 reasons why having an international best friend is better than having a regular best friend!
1) You get to tell everyone that your best friend is from Norway (Or wherever your best friend is from) and it's the coolest thing ever!

2) You get to be their personal dictionary and reference to all things English and our weird sayings. This is super fun because you realize how hard it is to describe words you know but can't explain what they mean.
3) You just except the fact that you will never learn launguage, but you still think you are so cool when they teach how to say a few phrases.
4) You are used it when they answer the phone and just start speaking their native language. But you will always laugh when they accidentally start speaking to you in their language, or mix up their English.
5) Whenever you see anything related to their homeland you freak out... Cause your best friend is from there!! And if you see a tweet or pic about their country of origin, of course you have to show them and tell them to take you there!
6) THEY ACTAULLY TAKE YOU TO THEIR HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7) They get you into the fast pass lane at Epcot at Disney because they are from the the "country" you are in! (If you didn't know this, you're welcome)
8) You love their country because that's where your best friend is from, like in the opening ceremony of the olympics... You totally cheered for them.
9) You ask them if they have this or that in their country. And if this is the same in their country as it is in America. You litterally ask them so many questions, often dumb questions. You learn all you can about their country and think it's so cool that they grew up somewhere diffrent from you!
10) You are so overwhelmed with the fact that God sent you a best friend from some other country and it amazes you that in this huge world somehow the two of you found each other. It makes it so much more special to have an international best friend because so much had to happen for the two of you to even met, let alone become bffs! You know God definitely was at work when He brought y'all together.
And I for one am unbelievably thankful that somehow I found my best friend who came into my life all the way from Norway!
