Roles Every Best Friend Plays
msecnd

Special thanks to all that best friends do in our lives and all the different roles they play. Here are a few essential roles our best friends play in our life.

1. The therapist.

Analyzing situations is probably the No. 1 responsibility of a best friend. Whether it be listening as you rant about how they forgot to put the cheese on the sandwich you ordered for lunch or giving advice in making a decision like what major to pick or what college to choose. You are there to combat every problem no matter how big or small.

2. The co-writer.


Apple did us all a favor with the screenshot as it has allowed us to send every awkward message to our best friend for them to come up with the best response to. From deciding how to word the text to choosing the perfect emoji, special thanks for being my anonymous co-writer.

3. The diary.


Best friends are the keeper of our secrets, like the diary I had when I was in the third grade. There isn't any secret I wouldn't tell you. I appreciate you keeping every secret and for not bringing up that one really embarrassing crush I had when I was 14.

4. The Nev to my Max.


Sorry MTV, but my best friend I perfected the skills of finding information out through social media long before you did. Don't underestimate our skills to know if someone's lying.

5. The workout buddy.


Best friends make for the best workout buddies as they are always there to give you that little push you need. "If we run another mile, we can get an ice cream on the way home."

6. The motivational speaker.


Best friends are the people that believe in us sometimes when we don't believe in ourselves. They constantly remind us that "We can do it"; nothing like a little pep talk from a best friend.

7. The comedian.


Yes, we could all use a laugh sometimes. It is no secret that best friends will go to any length in order to make their best friend laugh. They never live in fear of looking ridiculous because it is their job to give you that comic relief when life gets tough sometimes.

8. The reality check.


The best thing about best friends is they aren't afraid to give you the cold hard truth. Sometimes we need to be told we are wrong, and that's OK because that's what best friends are for. They give us an outside perspective and, ultimately, they want the best for us.

9. Wardrobe consultant/stylist.


"I cannot decide what to wear. I'm going to send you different options." "What are you wearing?" "Are we looking cute?" "Does this match?" "How does my hair look? Honestly?" "Should I buy this?" Yes, best friends are always there to tell you how it is. We put full trust in them when deciding how to dress to impress.

10. The "Remember when's?"


Best friends have thousands of inside jokes and memories that when brought up can instantly make one laugh uncontrollably.

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.
