Jordan Nelson. 20. Smart. Witty. Intelligent. Bad ass. Beautiful. Charming. Sarcastic. Funny. Scratch that. Hilarious. Caring. Loving. Understanding.

I'm sure as you read that list of traits you thought of someone who fit them. This is your Jordan Nelson. I don't think I would be able to survive this cruel and unusual world we live in, and I'm sure you feel the same way. Maybe not with my Jordan Nelson, but with your own. You see, Jordan is probably the most caring, giving and amazing person I've ever met. She's so strong and self-assured. She's knowledgable in almost every topic I've ever spoken to her about, and her passion for everything is inspiring. I've never been so mesmerized and terrified of a person. If you get on her bad side she could tear you apart with one look, and she lifts those she loves with words of affirmation. Jordan Nelson, whether she's in my life or she's someone you're thinking of, is a true blessing.

One thing about Jordan that's particularly inspiring and amazing is how hard she works. She takes a task she is given and she puts her all into it. She isn't always rewarded like she should be, but regardless of that, she's still willing to work hard and prove herself. She goes above and beyond with anything and everything she is given. Someone like this, someone who works hard without reward, is one person I want to put myself around.

Something you should always look for in a friend is their protectiveness for you. Jordan, from the get go, always had my best intentions in mind. She was always making sure I was okay. She's protective, but not in an overbearing way. She's always putting her friends first before herself. Jordan will forever and always be the founder and president of the 'Boys we hate club', and she won't be afraid to tell people about it. No matter the hour, even at 3 in the morning, she will be there for you, like she was for me. She will drive across an apartment complex to pick you up, without question and without hesitation. She has your best interest in mind and the security in this friendship is something everyone should strive to have.

Jordan is not only protective and caring, but she is sarcastic and will find a way to poke fun. Not in a rude way, but in a loving and friendly way. Not only that, but she'll take what she gives and isn't afraid to laugh at herself. Whether it be a Nels-Nasty situation or she tripped over something, she's always finding a way to laugh at herself and have everyone laughing around her.

At this point I'm sure you're asking yourself 'Why are you telling me all of this?', and that's a fair question. I would ask it too. What does Jordan Nelson have to do with you? Probably nothing, if we're being honest. But that doesn't mean you don't have a Jordan Nelson in your life. And if you've read this and haven't been able to think of someone that this reminds you of, then I urge you to go and find someone like this. Find someone who seems to always have their life together, even when things are falling apart. Find someone that will answer your call, no matter what, and if they miss it they'll call you back. Find someone whose entire attitude can change the mood in a split second, and only in the best ways. Find someone who can talk you out of bad decisions and can calm you down after you've made them. And find someone who won't judge you, because we already have enough judgement in our lives. We don't need friends who do that too.

So find your Jordan Nelson. Go on, go and search. It may seem like searching will get you no where, because the best of friends usually come into your life in the most unexpected way. But don't be afraid to search for it. Find those friendships that you can have, and you think "This is good for me. This is what I need." Because these friendships are the ones that will carry on forever.
