If you are anything like me, you had a fair number of friends in high school. But, you had one best friend. Someone you did almost everything with, and still do those things when you come home for breaks. After being at college for a few months, I realized I was missing mine more than anything! Here are five reasons why my high school BFF will always hold a special place in my heart. Faith, I love you!
1. You literally feel like a piece of you isn’t there
Sure, the first two months of the semester you are really busy getting back into the swing of things in college. After a while though, I literally feel like a piece of me is missing. After spending all of high school and then all of last summer together, being apart is just really weird.
2. There’s no one there to hangout with all the time
I’m not really sure if this is just my BFF and I, but most of the time when we hangout; we do almost nothing. It usually involves only two things: food and Netflix. Now whenever I want to do that at college, I end up sitting in my room alone. And believe me, Faith and I used to do this a lot.
3. She literally grew up with me
Faith and I have know each other since we were 5. I'm almost 20. That’s 15 years. So, she saw me at my worst and my best and I’m just as surprised as you that she stuck around as long as she did. We graduated Kindergarten together, and then high school. That many years and you are kind of stuck together.
4. Nothing compares to her advice
As mentioned above, our hangouts usually involve food, and then turn into heart to hearts. I’d like to say that she knows pretty much everything about me, and I know everything about her. So, her advice is second to none. Many times in college I have FaceTimed her; from advice about a boy to coordinating my outfits. I treasure her honesty and compassion so much.
5. She is my other half
We know exactly what the other person is going to say, we go to restaurant’s and get the same meal, and go on the most fun adventures. I don’t see myself ever growing apart from her. We can communicate without even saying a word, and her family is my family. I mean, who else would voluntarily walk into Walmart for ice cream in our prom dresses with me?
Faith, I am so happy to have you as my best friend. There Is no one else I would want to hide behind pillows during PLL with, or make Barbie cakes, tasty video recipes, or way too many cookies with. You are my person, and I cannot wait to see you soon.
