My Boyfriend Is My Best Friend And I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way
Elizabeth Davis

When it comes to high school and college-aged girls and their boyfriends, it seems like it is frowned upon that a girl's best friend is her boyfriend. Personally, I don't understand this because my boyfriend is my best friend and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Of course, I have my girlfriends and sorority sisters, and I love them just like they were my sister but the one person I can tell absolutely anything in the world to is my boyfriend. He and I are so similar, we can completely be ourselves and we don't have to worry about the other one judging. As a girl its hard to build that kind of trust with someone, or at least it is with me.

My boyfriend works 60 hours a week and is a Marine reserve back in our hometown. I am a full-time college student with a part-time job two hours away, so the time we get with each other is limited. When we both are in the same place though, we are inseparable and have been ever since we met the first day of our senior year.

All throughout our senior year, we constantly hung out and were doing things together, from watching movies at my house to going to the mall and our most frequent stop, going to our local Dairy Queen for five buck lunches. Not to mention I went to all of his football games and wrestling meets and he went to all of my soccer games so we could support each other in our activities

We do practically everything together now, even the most boring of things. We workout together, run errands together and even grocery shop together. Those are mostly because I hate working out and when he grocery shops alone he comes back with a lot of junk food. But more importantly, we're doing these things together because we genuinely love spending time together and want to be together as much as possible.

Although we live two hours apart and only get to see each other every other weekend, we are still extremely close. Every time something happens to one of us we are the first person the other tells. My boyfriend even bought an apple watch because he didn't want to go four to six hours not talking to each other while he was at work.

How much he loves and cares about me and genuinely wants to know things about me is exactly why my boyfriend makes the perfect best friend.

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.
