15 Reasons Why My Best Friend Can Never Stop Being My Friend

We're two halves of a whole and I wouldn't be complete without you.

15 Reasons Why My Best Friend Can Never Stop Being My Friend
Tanja Wa

Just like all sets of friends, you and I "get into it". In fact, we get into it quite a lot and usually it's over something really dumb! Just over the past week we have argued over which picture to post on Instagram (because you look good from one angle and I look good from another), where we were going to eat dinner (because you didn't want pizza again and that's the only thing I was willing to eat), and who should sit in the backseat (because you get carsick in the back and I just hate sitting back there by myself), but even with all of that said, I can't imagine my life without your stubborn little butt in it.

No matter what happens or where life takes us, you can never stop being my friend and this is why:


1. You know too much.

I used to be pretty good at keeping secrets, and then I met you. Now you know every embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me and all of my weird habits. You're also the first person that I call whenever I do something that I shouldn't, whenever something good happens, whenever I hear any gossip, or whenever I have big news.

2. You strengthen my Instagram game.

I hate taking pictures by myself, but when I'm with you, it's never an option. No matter what we do, we always have plenty of cute pictures to document the occasion.

3. We can communicate without talking.

All it takes is one look and you know exactly what it means, from "stop talking, my mom doesn't know about that" to "this boy is weird, please come save me."

4. We dislike the same people, for the same reasons.

I'll just leave this one with no explanation. It is what it is.

5. It would be a hassle to give each other our stuff back.

If we ever "broke up", we'd have to sort through the clothes and other random things that we've both left behind at each other's houses and you know that I am too lazy to do that, so let's just make sure it never has to happen!

6. I would miss your family.

Because I consider myself an honorary member and I love your family like they're my own, even if your brother does like to wear shorts that are shorter than mine.

7. No one else would put up with me like you do.

Because you're just as loud, annoying, and hyper as I am. You're amused by all of my goofy ideas and you're always up for an adventure, even if it's stupid.

8. You understand my sarcasm.

Most people think I'm rude because I'm blunt and say what's on my mind, but you understand that I don't always mean it like it sounds and you don't get offended when I sarcastically make fun of you.

9. You tell me the truth, even when it hurts.

You're not afraid to tell me whenever I look bad, whenever I'm being hateful, or whenever it's time to give up on the guy who's wasting my time. You know me well enough to know that sugar coating things isn't going to help me, so thank you for being honest instead of giving me excuses to try and make me feel better.

10. You support my decisions.

Even though you're not afraid to tell me when you think I'm wrong, you still help me out whenever I decide to do something.

11. You know how to cheer me up when I'm down.

Whenever I'm in a bad mood and just want to sit at my house alone and throw a pity party, you won't let me. You usually text me "Get ready, I'm on my way to your house." and then force me into doing something random that always ends up putting a smile on my face.

12. You're my wing man.

Whether it means cancelling your plans and third wheeling when I hang out with a potential bae or walking up to a random guy and saying "hey, my friend thanks you're cute", you're always willing to help a girl out.

13. You listen when no one else will.

Because sometimes I just need to whine about something that barely even matters and you're the only one who will listen without judging and give me advice on what to do about it.

14. You go out of your way to make me happy.

You make random trips to visit me in college, you comment on all of my pictures, you send me cute texts, buy me food, and surprise me with stuff all the time. You're basically like a sweet boyfriend, but better because I don't have to try to impress you.

15. You've seen me at my worst and you still love me.

You've seen me covered in cow poop (after that time we went muddin' by ourselves), red faced and crying over a stupid boy, sweaty and gross after a day in the sun, and sicker than a dog, but never once have you stopped loving me.


Thank you for everything that you do for me, bestie. Sometimes I think that I don't deserve a friend as good as you, but I sure am thankful that I have you.

I love you and I'm never letting you go.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
