21 Things That Happen When Your Best Friend Gets A Boyfriend

1. You’re initially super excited for her.

You’ve been rooting for them and waiting for this to happen for a while now. FINALLY!


2. You listen to all of her cute stories.

She’s so excited about the new relationship, and you’re equally as excited to hear all about it.


3. You enjoy third wheeling and getting to know him.

Your best friend is super into him, wouldn’t that mean you will like him too? You can all be BFFs!



4. Now he's always around when you two hang out.

But you deal with it because you want to hang out with your friend.


5. You feel them getting bothered by your constant presence.



6. Their never-ending love and happiness starts to make you nauseated.

Seeing people smile, hug, and laugh all of the time is emotionally exhausting.


7. They start hanging out by themselves more.

That’s okay, right? It’s their relationship, not yours. You're fine. Totally fine.


8. You start to get lonely, but want to keep it cool.

It's no big deal, really.


9. You cry.



10. You try to make some new friends to hang out with while she’s busy.

But it’s hard to find a bond like you and your best friend have.


11. You try to take up new hobbies to distract yourself.

But no amount of button collecting, skeet shooting, bee keeping, or knitting alone keeps you from wishing she was doing senseless activities right there beside you.


12. You cry more.



13. You think about getting a new pet.

Man's best friend, right?



14. You listen to Taylor Swift a lot.

THEY'LL TELL YOU I'M INSANE.



15. You cry to Taylor Swift a lot.



16. You consider breaking them up and begging her to come back to you.



17. You invest in a Netflix series.

This way you can focus all of your attention and emotion on the lives of the characters, while simultaneously avoiding any problems in your own.


18. You spend some fun time by yourself.

Yeah, "fun."


19. You cry.



20. You realize you might be acting (a little) dramatic.



21. You love and accept the relationship because you love and accept your best friend.

All jokes aside, there isn’t anything you wouldn’t do for your best friend, even if that means splitting the time you have with her with this new boy. The only thing that truly matters is that she is in a happy and healthy relationship and that you’re there to support her throughout it. After all, just because she found someone who cares about her doesn't mean you're any less important to her, and you can only hope he treats her well and loves her even half as much as you do.


And, well, if he doesn't...

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
