The good, the bad and the extremely ugly, your best friends have been there through it all with you. The times when you ate late Ben and Jerry’s and watched completely corny movies or the days when you needed a pep talk and a quick shoulder to cry on- they never judged nor did they ever get angry for your impromptu decision making, they just sat there and listened. That’s when you know you’ve found an amazing friend (or if you have a huge group of best friends, you’re even more lucky). Finding people in this crazy world that undoubtedly understand you is such a blessing, consider yourself extremely lucky and never take them for granted...I know I do. Though this list could probably go on for a solid 50 signs; however, here’s the top 20 signs you know you’re best friends either with one specific person or ONE amazing group of people.

1. You hang out all the time and never ever get tired of seeing each other- If you’re lucky, you live with them at college
2. You finish each other’s sentences
3. You know all of their darkest secrets (scandy, I know right?)
4. All of your favorite memories in college have included them in some shape or form (maybe you even have pictures to bring you back to that specific day)
5. You may have only known each other for two years, but you feel like you’ve known each other your whole entire life
6. People know who your friend group is...either this is a good or bad thing [Shoutout Higgest]
7. There are no boundaries and you never get uncomfortable such as helping a friend button their bodysuit *it’s completely normal okay?*
8. You create an amazing playlist together and it’s probably the best thing you’ve ever done
9. They undoubtedly bring out the best in you
10. You cry when you leave for spring break or any sort of vacation because you know you’ll miss them when you’re home
11. These people are both your good and bad influences
12. Inside jokes will NEVER get old and I mean NEVER
13. Your group chat is constantly going off but you wouldn’t want/wouldn’t expect anything else
14. You can wear someone else’s clothes every weekend and never wear your own #goals
15. You can communicate by just giving and reciprocating facial expressions
16. You can’t really stay mad at each other for more than an hour maximum
17. They’ve seen you at your worst and don’t think anything less of you
18. They give THE BEST advice and always make you feel better
19. You say “love ya” at least 4 times a day
20. You have already made wedding plans that include having all of them as your bridesmaids

These are few of the many reasons you know you’re best friends forever. It’s great to know that so many people can bring out the best in you. Here’s to my amazing friends that have helped me become a more happy, confident, easy going and care-free person; thank you endlessly for everything that you do for me.
