It's senior year. Everyone is applying to different colleges and talking about where they plan on spending the next four years. Everyone except you and your bestie. You both avoid the awkward conversation of where your friendship is headed and instead soak up senior year. Next thing you know you're sitting in your dorm room surrounded by pictures of the two of you and your best friend is hundreds of miles away. If the sisters of Arendalle could tell this story, it would look a lot like this.
The first few weeks apart.
Everything is new and exciting and you can't wait to tell them. Whether it's realizing the cute guy in your math class actually lives in your building or when you've had one too many and need to call her and tell her you love her, your best friend is always there to listen and comfort you.
The first time they post a picture on Instagram of them and all their new friends.
Pretending to be busy on your phone in class when bam! There's some strange girl taking up your half of the best friend picture.
When they fall for a frat guy...
That phone call goes something like this: "Yes, he is cute. Yes, he is charming. No, you probably won't marry the first guy you fall for at your favorite frat house."
When they come to visit for the first time and make themselves at home.
Clothes everywhere, pizza boxes everywhere, not entirely sure where your shoes are. When the bestie comes to town, all bets are off when it comes to keeping your home-away-from-home pristine.
When they introduce you to their new guy best friend and apparently you're the only one that sees crazy sparks.
Girl, stop playing and get with it. The boy is cute and takes you to get food when you're sad? His clothes are definitely made out of boyfriend material.
Looking back on some of your fights from high school.
Those rough days when you could really go for a best friend date and you think back to the dumb times you almost didn't get to keep her as a friend.
Making plans for summer vacation.
It's hard to contain your excitement as summer inches closer and closer everyday. Laying out, shopping, road trips; doing everything and absolutely nothing with your best friend is always fun.
When people ask, "Why do you stay so close to someone you hardly get to see?"
Plain and simple, there are some people you wait your whole life to meet and you don't let distance or time separate you. Some people are worth every ounce of extra energy.
So here's to you best friend. Know that every time you come home I'll be waiting on a lunch date. Thanks for never letting me down even when we are hundreds of miles apart. I love you.
