Hey Best Friend. I know we're not mushy people, but since I've written some other little letters for our friends, I thought I should let you know some of the reasons that I adore you. Because honestly, I have no idea how I'd stay sane sometimes if it wasn't for you.

1. I don't have to explain myself.

I feel with most people I have to constantly explain my humor and clarify my meaning on 97% of what comes out of my mouth. You, on the other hand, speak my language. You just get what I'm saying, and even when you don't, you just roll with it. When I'm in the middle of one of my legendary rants, it's very nice not to be interrupted.

2. You hate everyone I hate.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's how we first bonded. We're not mean, but when we don't like you, we don't like you. Also having someone validate my immediate dislike for another person is great.

3. Our personalities even out.

I have major freak outs about things that don't bother you and visa versa. I mean, there are definitely times that we freak out together, but often there's a lull, or a grace period and we can take turns keeping each other calm/from snapping. Pretty sure that's the only reason we haven't completely lost it yet.

4. We're pretty tough.

Sometimes things get said or done that can lead to petty arguments or fighting. By now, I think we're pretty clear that we don't hate the other and can take a bit of criticism or tough love.

5. We have different interests.

While, yeah, we're pretty similar; we're also very different. Sometimes friendships can end because you spend too much time with someone or you're just too alike. And while we're alike and agree on a lot, we're also different, and that's amazing too.

6. We keep each other in check.

Sometimes I make questionable decisions, and sometimes I need to be told that I'm being crazy. Being a girl is hard, and being a girl in college is twice as hard. You keep me from being too crazy, and too forward. Evening someone out is one thing when you're just with them, and being able to be honest and keep someone from going too far is something else.

7. We respect each other.

Even when we argue (which we rarely do), there's still respect. Even when I get mad at you (which again, rarely happens) there is still respect. You're so kind, and honest, and completely yourself. You don't let boys dictate our life or tell you who to be. You are100% dedicated to going after what you want, and I respect the hell out of that.

Stay sassy, and remember that you're a gem.
