1. The "what are you gonna wear?" text.

Not only do I have options from my closest and hers, I also get the best advice on what I am gonna wear. Do I want to wear a dress? Should I wear shorts? I don't know, but she always does.

2. Having someone who knows you better than yourself.

Your best friend always knows how to handle you. When you are upset, you know she will be there to provide a much-needed shopping day or beach day. She will learn everything about you, and how to make you laugh even when nothing seems to go right. They always provide you with the advice that you are never quite able to give yourself, and it's amazing. They know exactly what to say and when to say it.

3. Honest thoughts

She lets you know how you really look in that dress you want to buy. They always keep you in check when you need it most. They tell you what they actually think about the new boy you are seeing. They give you the honest opinions most people are scared to give you, and they always let you know when you have something on your face and thank you for not letting me walk around with eyeliner smudged on my cheek because no one else would have told me.

4. You have your own personal photographer

My best friend sees good lighting and starts snapping pictures of me. She keeps my Instagram updated because she always takes the best photos. She knows your best angles, so at least one of the 200 photos taken come out well.

5. Secret keeping

When you find a real best friend, nothing you tell them will get out. They keep your secrets safe with them, and their secrets are safe with you. All of your "not so stellar" moments will be safe with them. These secrets provide more inside jokes than the two of you can handle. Who else can you call people out with? Not someone that is gonna tell everyone. You and your best friend generally like and dislike the same people, so it always keeps the conversation interesting

6. Boys

>No one can give boy advice like your best friend. They can spot a bad guy miles away. If you are lucky, your boyfriend and best friend are so much alike that it isn't weird when everyone hangs out because everyone is friends. If your best friend does not approve of the new boyfriend, then he probably will not be a boyfriend for long.

7. Memories

Friends don't let friends embarrass themselves alone. From dancing in the middle of squares to trying on ugly dresses in stores, you never have to do it alone. Your best friend is always right by your side to have fun. No one can make you laugh like them because you two are basically the same person. no one will quite understand what you two are laughing at, but they don't have to.
