I spent my high school years with two best friends, who were also best friends. The three of us were pretty much inseparable, and we did everything together. I once heard someone say "Two is a friendship, three is a family." There could not be more truth to this statement. You see, there are so many things you can get out of a friendship of three, that you cannot get out of a friendship of two. Those of us who have trios know that it's not a competition, and jealousy isn't a problem. All of us have a unique bond and we may have grown closer over different memories and different inside jokes, and that's okay. Here's why having a trio of best friends is such a blessing.
1) You have a fan club.
Sure, it's great when your BFF comes to your events to cheer you on, but what's even better? When a crowd shows up to cheer you on.
2) There's a higher chance of making plans last minute.
You decided to stay in on a Friday night, but at about 8:00pm, you are bored as can be. You call one of your besties, and they're busy. The good news is you have another one to call.
3) Group chats
I don't know about you, but my group chat with my friends is hilarious. They're there to cheer me up, make me laugh, or give me a wake-up call when I need to get serious.
4) More clothes to borrow
Two closets to raid instead of one? Hell yeah. Not to mention, double the shoes, double the make-up selection, pretty much just double everything that a girl could want.
5) You have two, second homes.
Need a place to stay when your parents are bothering you? Well, you have two options when you have two best friends.
6) You have reinforcement when your best friend makes bad decisions.
It's easy to blow off your BFF when they tell you not to talk to that boy, but when two are telling you, it's harder to ignore the consequences of your actions.
7) It can save you money
Ordering pizza with your girls while watching Big Brother or The Bachelorette is a must. This way, the cost gets split up three ways instead of two. You can also feel better about yourself because you didn't eat an entire half of the pizza to yourself.
8) You get to meet and befriend more people.
Even the best of friends have separate likes, and usually, this leads them to have different friends. When you have two best friends, there are more people to meet and get to know.
9) You have double the inspiration.
My best friends are two of the strongest and most inspirational people that I know. They have kind hearts and gracious personalities. My friendship trio has brought me two role models, and two people to admire.
10) You end up with multiple second-parents.
My two best friends are amazing people, so it is obvious that they came from amazing moms. I have gotten to know their moms, and they absolutely love me like their own. When there's a trio, there's a bigger pool of people to call when you get yourselves into a bind.
11) Causing trouble is so much more fun.
Plus, our parents can't get too mad, because we can just take turns on taking the blame.
12) You have a family.
No matter how far away college takes the three of you, you know that you have them. They push you to be your best. They drive you insane sometimes, but you wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so thankful for my two best friends and the individual things that they contribute to my life. They inspire me every day, and I am so proud to be a part of their lives.
