1. No one can turn your tears to laughter so quickly.

2. You have no one who will happily walk with you anywhere you want to go.

 

3. These shameless plops that happen anywhere and everywhere.

4. No one enjoys play time like they do.

 

5. Your roommates will just never be this excited to see you.

6. It's hard work to find another permanent cuddle buddy, and even if you do, it'll never be the same.

15. Eating a late night "snack" with someone without judgement in underwear is just no longer as realistic.

16. Bed time isn't the same.

17. It's hard to find someone who will allow you to dress them up and then shamelessly entertain you.

18. Those "there are no words" moments.

 

19. You'll never find someone this cute in college.

 

20. Bath time.

21. After they've been with you through so much, their unconditional love just can't be duplicated.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.
