1. They are the only one that can keep up with your ever-changing boy drama.

While all of our other friends struggle to keep all the names or events of your love life in line, your best friend has a nickname for all of the boys in your romantic history and can place every event of your love life on an accurate timeline.

2. They are the only ones that actually care when you drunk-dial them at 2 a.m.

Whether it's Margarita Monday or Tequila Tuesday, they are the only ones that actually want to listen to you ramble on about how much you want a taco, or how cute the boy in the blue shirt apparently was.

3. They are also the only person that will understand when you get overly emotional when you look at pictures of baby animals on the internet.

Everyone does it, so do not even try to pretend you don't. But, not everyone understands the deep emotional crisis you go into when seeing a tiny animal doing something adorable.

4. They understand that you are crazy, but love you anyway.

Your best friend is the only person that will see you singing, "Bye Bye Bye" by 'NSync and join in without any hesitation.


5. They will support you when you fall.

The stupid boy in your chemistry class just broke your heart, you got a parking ticket, and you failed a statistics test -- all in the same day. Your best friend is the person that will show up with the jumbo bin of raw cookie dough and "A Cinderella Story" and pick you right back up again.

6. They are also the only ones who will be brutally honest with you about your appearance.

Whether it is asking them if your outfit matches or if you can pull off red lipstick, they will give you the uncensored truth, solely because they love you.

7. They will love you even when you fight.

You are bound to make each other crazy every now and then, but even when you fight, you are always going to make up.

8. They are your rock and you wouldn't trade them for the world.

Your best friend is there in the best of times and the worst of times, and you wouldn't have it any other way.
