Things Only Your Best Friend Understands

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wisconsin chapter.

What would we do without our best friends? She knows everything about you, the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between. Your best friend is the person that you can count on to go along with your crazy plans, be your wingwoman, and nurse you back to health after a night out. Here are some things that only your best friend understands.

1.     Your weird sense of humor.2.     Any and all nicknames that you have for people.3.     Every single detail of your love life (or lack thereof).4.     When you’re being an idiot and need someone to be brutally honest with you.5.     She knows exactly what you’re thinking just from your facial expression.6.     That it is her responsibility to like every single one of your posts on social media.7.     Your tolerance levels for caffeine, bullshit, and alcohol.8.     The classic “Are we looking cute or can I wear sweatpants?” text.9.     That sometimes all you need is wine and a hug.10. Your strange obsessions like One Direction or 19 Kids and Counting.

11. That there is no limit to the amount of times you can watch Dirty Dancing.12. That her closet is your closet and vice versa.13. She knows that “I’ll be there in 5 minutes” actually means a half hour.14. That no matter what, you will always be there for each other.So show your best friend some love because the level of understanding she’s accomplished is one worth appreciating!
