As we grew up we have constantly heard “Bros before hoes” and “Chicks before dicks”. As you get older, you come to realize how these phrases get more and more relevant. Our life gets more complicated and we realize how much we need a good support group to rally around us during those difficult times. When you move hundreds of miles away from home for college, you don’t realize how lonely you can feel when life gets hard.
Having best girlfriends can make your life so much better. They are there for you when something bad happens in your family or a boy wrongs you. Girlfriends do more than just bring you ice cream and flowers. Yes, they do those things too because let’s be honest, who can resist ice cream and flowers when you’re feeling down.
Best girlfriends are there for you to cuddle up next to and have a good cry or bring you to In-N-Out to eat away your feelings. Girlfriends are there to make you laugh through the tears or plot some ridiculous revenge scheme you know you will never actually use. Girls that will come over at any hour of the day or night or offer up half their bed for you to sleep in are true friends. A good girls night out is the cure for almost anything.
My college experience would not be the same without knowing I constantly have my girl group by my side. We learn, love, and lose together, but at the end of the day we know there is someone to scratch our back and make us feel better. After graduation I know I'm going to look back on those weekends I spent cuddled in bed or exploring with my girlfriends, not the silly boys that come and go throughout these four years.
