Recipe for Best Friends

We know, we know…. This can’t be real… TWO BLOG POSTS IN ONE WEEK?!?!  We realize that we’ve potentially given you, our 6-7 devoted readers, the idea that we only post once every 3 months so we decided to mix it up and post yet again!

Since our last post highlighted some reasons as to why we have such an amazing group of friends, we decided to be generous and give you something to help you make your own awesome friends.*  A lot of our bonding occurred and still occurs while we seriously discuss and argue and contemplate really provocative and deep questions of life.**  So we’ve turned some of our favorites into a list of conversation starters that we think all friend groups should use… They worked out pretty well for us.

1.     Title of your own reality show… starring you.

We LOVE our friends because...

1.  Everyone has a role to play

• Classic Hannah: accidentally anorexic; being sketch
• Classic Laura: always 5 min late to the conversation; mimosas
• Classic Michelle: always using her outside voice; always down for anything, until she isn’t
• Classic Sarah: disgustingly photogenic; best original voices
• Classic Mia: language barrier; can turn anything sexual
• Classic Matt: forgetting where he lives; always being hungry
• Classic Brad: rock and roll; being his own DJ while at a party
• Classic Michael: aggressively cuddling with D; always wearing jeans that show off his assets
• Classic Wade: being pseudoprofesh; shitting on everything B likes
• Classic Sara: drunkenly aggressive, soberly sweet; can pull off literally any article of clothing
• Classic Jeni: telling it how it is; craigslisting at parties

2.  We are versatile. (Semi)classy and crazy, sometimes even in the same night. We range from grown up drinks at the Gin Joint to raging in cut offs and t-shirts decorated with duct tape.

     Classy...

 Crazy...

3.  We’re loyal

• We blindly hating each others nemeses
• We don't branch out cause we already have friends
• We roll deep where ever we go

4.  We encourage self-destructive behavior

• Lounging over the gym
• Drinking over sleeping
• Shopping over studying
• Nachos over salads
• Spending over saving

5.  We are literally the funniest people we know. No lie, people have told us we need our own tv show. Seriously, its currently in the works. Once Mindy tweets us back it’s a done deal.

6.  No topic of conversation is off limits

• HJs
• Hypothetical murdering
• If terrorists attack us
• Celebs
• Crazy girlfriend moments

7.  We require little to entertain ourselves. Sure we like to go out, but we can also sit around with no alcohol, food or tv and have just as much fun.

• A made up game including rock paper scissors and heads tails
• Naming game
• Caroms
• Conversation starters
• Self flattery
• Nail polish

8.  We make each other more adventurous

• Hot yoga was started
• Painting night
• Driving range lessons
• New foods and new recipes through family dinners, i.e. parsnips
• Trying to check things off our Charleston bucket list
• And Hannah went to the gym

9.  We all have different tastes. Our supposed interest in PT school brought us together, but really its things like

• TV shows: Game of Thrones, The Office, House of Cards
• Books: Divergent, The Hunger Games, Body of Work
• Music: Justin Beiber to Local Natives, The Expendables to Macklemore
• Beer
• Theme parties
• Big Nasties
• Any excuse for a family dinner
• The only thing we don’t share is our taste in men (except Jeremy Bronson) and salmon chinos.

10.  We are NEVER apart. Not only do we go to school together, we study, go out, lounge, eat and sleepovers on the weekend. Some of us even drive hours to keep the group together.  And we still like each other.

*Once again we are loudly brainstorming in a coffee shop. Pretty sure everyone in here wants to be our friend after hearing all these reasons why we are so awesome. Probably more so than our last post of all the reasons we are so pathetic single.
