I was in a sorority in college. That was weird. Everyone was so sensitive and sentimental. When it comes to friends, it’s best to keep the relationship insensitive – kind of a tough love approach. I was chatting with my friend the other day, and she said, “I hate when people say things that are too meaningful in regards to friendship.” Then we both said in unison, “Like, never say, ‘You mean so much to me’.”

I love a friend who meets the following criteria:

A thorough understanding of sarcasm. If your friend thinks you’re serious when you say, “Your Uggs really complement those leggings you’re wearing as pants,” then you should reevaluate your relationship.

A high tolerance for criticism and offensive remarks. If your friend doesn’t flinch when you say, “I hate your hair, and you look gothic,” they’re a keeper.

Only cries for cute or ironic reasons. It’s totally fine if your friend cries because they don’t have the right peplum top to go with their leather shorts, or if they’re upset about their lackluster bone structure, but if they cry about world hunger, reevaluate. There’s a vast difference between a fashion cry and a world hunger cry.
