Best friends are the siblings we don't share any DNA with. In many cases, we have more than one best friend. They're the ones we spend most of our time with and they're the ones we can be ourselves with 100 percent of the time. Without them, we would be lost.
1. The Lifetime Best Friend
This is the best friend you've know basically your entire life. You may have ruled the halls of kindergarten with them or driven your parents insane with all of the playdates and sleepovers. Even as you went on your separate paths as you got older, you still make sure your paths cross. You may not see or talk to this friend every day, but they have a special place in your heart and will for the rest of your life. You will forever be Day 1 best friends no matter what.
2. The "Sisters" Best Friend
You spend so much time with this best friend and their family that you are sometimes considered the extra child. Their home is your home, which means you are free to enter and exit as you please. There's always a place for you at the dinner table and movie nights just aren't complete without you being there. You get into small disagreements with your bestie but it's OK because, at the end of the day, you love one another unconditionally.
3. The Therapist Best Friend
This is your go-to person whenever you feel the need to vent. They listen to you, even through tears, and give you advice on how to fix the problem. They always reassure you that you'll get through the rough patches, and for that you are so grateful. Whenever you feel lonely or need someone to distract you from your thoughts, this is the person who will answer with some silly story.
4. The Straight-Forward Best Friend
This is the person you turn to when you need someone to be upfront and blunt about something. They tell it as it is and nothing less. While this seems like it can be a bad thing it's actually a blessing. This best friend puts you in your place with the classic eye roll but is always there to have your back when others are at your neck.
5. The New Best Friend
You've only known these friends for a short time and they've already become some of your best friends. You started your college experience with them, and you already know you want them there when you finish and continue on in life. From dinner dates to parties and even movie nights, there is never a dull moment with these girls.
6. The Ultimate Best Friend
This best friend is your "all of the above." They play all of these roles and they play them really well. They are your therapist, your backbone, your sibling, your person and your biggest fan. Without them, you wouldn't be able to get through your day. They remind you every day how important of a person you are, and they never let you forget all of the amazing memories you've made. They encourage you to be yourself. But most importantly, they love you and your flaws.
And this is just the beginning. Our friends bring so much excitement to our lives, and they are one of our greatest support system. Through thick and thin, you know they will always be there by your side. Can't wait for many more years of spontaneous adventures and endless laughs.
