1. She listens to me complain:
After coming home from a stressful day of classes and work, all we really want is someone to listen to us rant about the day’s inconveniences. It’s even better when we swap stories about our daily struggles.
2. We borrow each other’s clothes (and actually return them):
This is super helpful when you get home from the mall and realize you don’t have bottoms to match the top you just bought and the party starts in two hours.
3. TV Date Nights:
On Wednesdays we watch Catfish. *Regina George voice*
4. We have an understanding about messes:
Running late happens all too often because, honestly, who’s ever on time in college? Luckily, we’re on the same page when it comes to messy bathrooms and dirty dishes during a busy week.
5. She stops me from making bad decisions:
When I need someone to check me on if I should text my ex or skip class, she’s the one who asks, “Do you really want to go down that road?”
6. She’s always down for late night food runs:
Eating McDonald’s at 1 a.m. isn’t nearly as fun—or safe— without your best friend.
7. We share a secret language:
A simple look to one another may look like an innocent glance to someone else, but it’s really code for, “Do you see how cute that boy is?”
8. Motivational texts:
After stressing over a test all night, a motivational “You got this!” is just what I want to hear.
9. We share the same sense of humor:
Anytime I see something funny, she’s the first person I send it to.
10. She’s realistic:
I can always count on her keeping it 8 more than 92 with it.
11. She’ll taste my new recipes:
Whenever I bake something new, I can count on her to sacrifice her taste buds for the good of the recipe.
12. When things go wrong, we can always laugh it off:
From accidentally putting dish soap in the dishwasher to serving uncooked brownies to our friends, I can count on her to help me laugh my way through the situation.
13. She’s my best friend:
I thank God everyday that housing put us together because I don’t know what I’d do without my partner in crime.
