How To Know The Friendship Is Real

You may think it's real, but is it memorize-your-horoscope-sign real?

How To Know The Friendship Is Real
Jolie Delia

College is great because you meet a lot of new people, and you make a lot of new friends. But the real question is how do you know when the friendship is real? These are the for-sure signs your friendship was made to last.

1. They know the names of your pets.

It's even more impressive when you have 3 or more pets for them to remember.

2. They've seen you cry.

Whether you're a crier or not, you know your college friends are real when you can sob to them laying on their living floor while they make you pasta and you feel no shame.

3. They know you're favorite song.

And they know how excited you get when you hear it out. And they know when to put it on for you to cheer you up or get you pumped. And they don't cut you off from listening to it even after they've heard 300 times already this semester.

4. They tag you in memes.

What's a friendship if it doesn't involve memes? (Bonus points if they memorize your Instagram name to tag you in memes as fast as possible).

5. They hate someone you hate without knowing them or you even asking them to.

When they trust you enough to hate someone blindly for you, that's when you know it's real.

6. They know your horoscope sign.

And you know theirs. And you send each other your horoscopes so neither of you forget.

7. They let you tell the same story over and over again.

A person can only have so many good stories, so it's important to find friends who don't mind hearing the same 12 stories for the rest of their lives.

8. They memorize what clothes you own.

9. They know your order.

For drinks, coffee, Chipotle, you name it. They know what you like.

10. They love you even when you don't love yourself.

That moment when you think, "Why do I have friends? I am the actual worst," they are there to let you know that even though you are the worst, they still love you, just like you love them no matter what too.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
