When people talk about their best friends it's normally someone from their childhood or high school but what about a best friend you met when you moved into college two months ago?
While we've only known each other a short time I already feel closer to her than anyone I was friends with in high school. She already knows all my secrets, every time we meet someone new we send a text to each other to get their opinion. She is the person that I think of the second something happens (that is if we're not together when it happened).
Time doesn't matter when it comes to friendships, it's compatibility that really matters. I feel like she knows who I've become since I've started college and it doesn't weird her out that I'm 'changing' because we understand that's what college is for. We're there to help each other grow and we stay by each other's side through all the mistakes that come with being a freshman in college.
When I think back to my freshman year of college almost every memory I'll have outside of class will be with her. She stayed with me when I had to go to the hospital, staying awake with me until 5 in the morning and then getting coffee with me after we left. We have this ritual, Wine Wednesday, where we watch stupid reality dating shows and have a glass of wine. It's a nice way to unwind in the middle of the week and we almost always try to get into something after our show ends.
Our social medias are basically shrines to one another, and our snapchat stories always have the other person in it. People we hang out with have started to refer to us as the dynamic duo and it's known that we'll always be by each others side, even going on dates together because that's what besties are for. If I'm about to send a risky text I have her to help me think of what to say and will press send for me if I don't have the courage to do it myself.
The hardest part of this article was picking just one picture for the cover photo. I sat for at least twenty minutes going back and forth on which picture I was going to choose.
I've been really lucky in that we have the same taste in music so any car ride together always turns into a mini concert because we can't help but sing. My mom loves her already and her family likes me and we live close enough back home that we don't have to worry about going our separate ways during the summer.
I know I just met this girl and there is still so much to learn about each other but I can't help but feel like we've known each other for years. It's impossible for me to imagine my life without her now and I know that will never happen because I'm her best friend as well. We already talk about how the other is going to be in our weddings and that the other has to approve of our husband.
You don't have to know someone for a long time to become absolute best friends. I consider this girl my soulmate, my other half, and Hell we've only known each other for a few short months.
