Who's your best friend? It's a tough question, if you're lucky. Because the truth is, many people have multiple best friends. There's the best friend from when you were little, the one you met in high school, your college roommate, that random girl you met in a bar and discovered was your soul mate….

Oh, and you have a thousand adorable tbt worthy photos of the two of you naked in the bathtub. Admit it. You stalk her on Instagram. You know her mother's name and the date of her brother's wedding, and when she broke up with her boyfriend, you wanted to send her flowers. The only problem? You've never met her. The sound of her voice makes you want to stab your eyes out with forks and your initial reaction to seeing her name pop up on your cell phone is to throw said phone against a brick wall.
Everything about her drives you crazy from the way she laughs to how she puts on her mascara…but she's your best friend. So you love her? You love her. This friend is also most likely to be hated by your parents when you are caught by the police stealing said live stock or public property.

Everyone has that one friend who, when you go out at night, the first, second, and last thing on her agenda is to take selfies with everyone.
She never goes home from a night out without at least Instagram pics of her, in various forms of duck face, with each and every person she hung out with. The Politics-Religion-Money Friend. You know how they say to never talk about these three things in social situations? She—without fail—brings them up, often gets on her soapbox, and kills the fun every time. The Faux Friend.
This is your friend who is, essentially, not a friend at all. The Saint. This is the friend in your group who never does anything that might break her moral code.
