A best friend is a person who comes into your life and changes it for the better. You and your BFF have hundreds of memories together that neither of you will forget. You have had some rough times, but the good times are what really matter. Your BFF is basically your other half.
1. You laugh until you cry. As you know, laughing is the best medicine, right? You and your BFF can literally laugh at anything, even if it is a wall. You have good times where all the two of you do is laugh. There are bad times, too. In some cases, you cry until you laugh. When you are upset, your BFF tries everything in their power to pick you up.
2. You tell your secrets. Remember that embarrassing crush that you had freshman year that you did not tell anyone about? Yeah, she knows (and you probably did not have to tell her). Whether you tell her by accident or she figures it out from your awkward laughing at his jokes, it's okay because she's got your back. No one else knows your deepest darkest secrets besides her and vice versa.
3. You go on random adventures together. One day you are hiking through the treacherous mountains (or actually a cleared path at the state park) and you end up in a historical cabin from the Civil War era with a fake crime scene. Yes, this actually happened to me and my BFF. There was fake blood everywhere, knives, and mannequins and you better believe we took 20 pictures. Oh, and we can't forget the spring break trips... the beach, the boys, and the unforgettable memories.
4. You read each other's mind. You think you are the only one who sees the girl a few rows up from you going ham on her cashews but when you turn to tell your BFF, she is already laughing and says "I know." You never have to tell each other that you are upset, mad, hyper or anything else because she knows. She can see it in everything you do and that is what makes her your BFF.
5. You do everything together. Your schedule is basically the same as your BFF's schedule so you get to spend every extra minute together. You two eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. When one has a doctor's appointment, guess who is with her? Yep, you. Skipping class to go shopping is both of your idea, too. Sometimes, you even happen to need to use the restroom at the same time. You literally do everything together and you both love it.
Remember that it is not who has been around the longest, but who has been there for you when you needed it the most. The person you know you can cry on their shoulder any time of the day or night.
Having a BFF is awesome and I am lucky enough to have two of them. So I am forever thankful that I have my BFFs there to put up with me :) I hope you're thankful for your BFF just as much as I am!
Sorry, BFFs. I'm here for the long run!!
