It's been forever since spring break when you last saw your best friend from home. You both text each other the current countdown until you will see each other again and when you will hit up all of your local hangouts. Nothing, not even the craziness of college, can mess up the bond between you two. So here's how the reunion will go down as told by the ultimate duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler:
1. The First Sighting
When your best friend pulls up in your driveway blasting the 80s pop song you both love. There's not time for silly greetings, you hop in and drive away singing at the top of your lungs. The neighborhood knows the girls are back in town.
2. The Hug
As you make your first stop at Starbucks, you both realize that you forgot to hug each other before your jam session. The home again hugs are always the best hugs. You aren't afraid to show a little love in the middle of a parking lot because that's just what best friends do.
3. The Coffee Shop Catch Up
After you grab your venti iced beverages, you pop a squat and prepare to hear a half of semester's worth of stories and gossip. Your first words are, "TELL ME EVERYTHING" and your friend knows to get comfortable. Is a public place the best for telling all of your deep dark and embarrassing secrets? Hell yes! Because you own this town and everyone knows Starbucks baristas take a pledge of confidentiality... otherwise you are both screwed.
4. MOVIE TIME!
It's been too long since you both enjoyed a movie together and you hit up your local chain for a matinee. Yes you are those obnoxious people who actually laugh and converse during the trailers, but seriously how are you supposed to plan your summer film list if you don't exclaim it at the movie theater? And when a trailer for dreamy actor/actress comes on you make eye-contact and state that if you don't see this movie together the apocalypse will begin.
5. Dinner Dates
After hours of movies and gabbing, you may start to get a little hangry. Your friend asks you a simple question and diagnoses the problem stat. It's time for a dinner date. Whether it be Arby's, Fridays, or your local pizza spot, it's time for food and you both respect that.
6. Throw-back Video Games
After going out and about all day, you wind up at your best friend's house for some reminiscing. Your first stop? Time to rescue Princess Peach in the Super Mario Bros or wildly swing your remote around in Just Dance. So her mom may hear you cursing at Luigi for dying again or her brother may laugh at your attempt to dance, but it's the usual and you feel right at home.
7. The Actual Dance Party
It's time to turn on your favorite tunes and dance your asses off. Who needs a club when your friend's room becomes a dance floor? It's a bit ridiculous, but you both sing and laugh until you have stitches in your sides. Another item checked off your summer list.
8. It's Just the Beginning
It's only been a few days and you have hit most of your local spots at least once. It further instills the promise of another summer together and all of the funny shenanigans that will inevitably unfold over the next couple months. For now you stand accomplished knowing that you are killing summer already with the best person on the planet. What more could you ask for?
