It’s not very often that a group of people can connect so effortlessly and flawlessly as my friends and I did. Over the course of just nine months, we have argued, laughed, and cried, enough times to last us forever. They honestly bring out the best in me, and regardless of how dysfunctional we may seem, I wouldn't want any other group of friends. Here's why:
1. They are very supportive.
Whether it’s dealing with problems at home or deciding which filter to use on Snapchat, my friends are always there to guide me into making the right decisions. It’s impossible to feel unsupported when you have five miniature moms living down the hall from you.
2. We always make each other laugh.
If laughter is truly the best medicine, then my friends and I will live forever. No matter what mood I'm in, whenever my squad comes around, my mood is instantly brightened. My friends could turn watching paint dry into a comedy special.
3. No matter how far apart we are, we'll always be connected.
No matter how far apart we live or life takes us, we are always a phone call, text, or snap away. When break comes around it's bittersweet because we all live far apart but that doesn't stop us from staying connected and when we come together again, it's as though we had never left.
4. I trust them with my life.
No matter the situation, I know my friends will have my back. They are always looking out for me and having my best interest in mind. When ever I need them I know that they'll be there for me and ready for whatever.
5. We are the life of the party.
Whether it's a house party or karaoke night in the pub, when my squad arrives, the party begins.
6. We feed each other.
This is such major part of any friendship. If they don't feed you, those aren't your friends. My squad has reached the point at which we can walk into each other's room and just take whatever we want.
7. We all have different personalities which mesh well together.
We all bring different things to the table. Some of us are great writers, while others are great dancers, singers, and artists. Our different talents are what make us unique and add more variety to our friendship.
8. We are each other's shoulder to cry on.
When ever I'm going through anything, I can count on my friends to make everything feel okay. Sometimes when I feel as though my world is crashing down, my friends are always there to help me hold it up.
9. We give out the best relationship advice.
Whenever there is relationship drama, we are there to give advice even though no one really listens to it. We give each other moral support and almost never say I told you so.
10. We are not afraid to put each other in check.
Friends should be able to call each other out when they are being problematic. My friends do it in a respectable manner of course. My friends and I are not afraid to put each other in check and tell each other when we are doing something wrong. I always trust their input because I know that they give it to me straight.
11. We can always be ourselves around each other.
I feel my most genuine self when I'm around my friends. I never have to put on a fake persona or try to impress them in any way. We accept each other's flaws and encourage each other to be the best that we can be. We never make judgement and are always there when needed, and for that reason my friends and I are #squadgoals.
