I have this theory that all humans strive for a connection with other humans. It's a basic need of human life. I am sure that it is psychologically proven somewhere... but I simply want to relay what I have experience and observed in my experience of friendship.

Impromptu survey about this idea of "friendship": *brace yourself*
What is friendship?
Kadee: "Finding the good in other people and caring enough to find that 'good' in other people"... "And popping each others back"
Ashley: "Can you come back to me?"... "I'm just trying to make my brain think... its been a long day"... "Friendship is making each other go to dances and dress up as crazy 80's ladies"... "Friendship is counting down the days until you go to Florida together even though you spend every single day together!"...
Emma: "Umm, what is friendship?".... "Being able to be your true self without fear of being judged" ..."Being able to tell your deepest secrets without fear"
Sierra: "Friendship is cuddling without feeling weird"
Mac: "Ummmm.... ummm.... erase that. Uri. Friendship is... *pause for effect* being able *pause for effect again* to have a good time no matter what you're doing"
Uri: Understanding that you have the potential to be connected with them on the deepest level
What is the most important aspect of friendship?
Kadee: "Trust and charity = package deal"
Ashley: "Reliability"
Emma: "Loyalty"
Sierra: "Trust"
Mac: "Trust"
Uri: Unwavering trust and complete acceptance

| The faces that we make when we realized that we would be going to Florida in less than two weeks!!!!! ... all together... ...with each other... .... for a week.... |
Kadee: "There isn't something that actually draws me to friends. I just want to know everybody. I want to know everything about them, but I don't go out of my way to know them"
Ashley: "Their attitude"
Emma: "Similarities, something to connect with them. Isn't that how you make friends?"
Sierra: "If we have something in common"
Mac: "If they actually talk to me"
Uri: They can break through my awkwardness to see to the real me... even if the real me is awkward too

What is going to make you lose a friend?
Kadee: "If they don't put forth the effort that I am willing to put forth into them"
Ashley: "I lost them more because they don't try to hang out and make connections."
Emma: "Utter Betrayal. Not just betrayal, but if you betray me and don't feel guilty"
Sierra: "If they do something to seriously offend me or what I believe in."
Mac: "Betrayal"..."Once you give me the wrong wi-fi password its all over"
Uri: Trust is the hardest thing for me to give. And once you break it, it's not likely that you are going to get it back. I think distance is what does it. I think there is emotional distance, physical distance, spiritual distance, and intellectual distance. I think if you have any two at the same time, you are going to begin to lose a friend.
What makes best friends?
Kadee: "When you can fart around each other... and just open the window and ignore it..."
Emma: "I make everyone listen to me"... "A best friend is someone who will finish a song when you start it... every time."... "A best friend is someone who you can come home to your bed and they will be asleep in your bed and its okay"
Ashley: "People that care about you on your worst days and your best days. Who are there for you no matter what"..."When you know you're going to do bad on something, or you don't look great but they still give you a pep talk and tell you you'll do great"..."Pillow talk"...
Sierra: "People who can laugh with you at 2 in the morning and then turn around and give you the most heartfelt advice".. "A best friend is someone who knows that you love sour patch kids and still takes them from you."..."A best friend encourages you to buy a 2lb bag of Sour patch kids, and pie, and four boxes of popsicles and chocolate and cookies... "..."and then will throw up with you a day later"..."When they support you on ratchet-Thursday"
Mac: "When no matter what happens you know that that person is going to be there for you. It could be something very little that is going upset, or something huge. All that matters is that you know they're going to be there for you. And you can talk to them about anything... and buying matching thongs"..."Someone who would help you bury the body"
Uri: Someone who knows exactly what you need to hear when you need to hear it. Someone who isn't afraid to tell you what is on their mind. Someone who will support you when you are PMSing and hating every male on the planet. Someone who you knows you better than you know yourself. Someone who will let you bounce your crazy ideas off of them. Someone who will reply to your text at 2 o' clock in the morning to help you sort out your late night thoughts. Someone who gives you an ab workout from laughing so hard. Someone with who you make pact to not shave your legs until you go to Florida (Gross... I am sasquatch). Someone who thinks your every joke is hilarious. Someone who lets your barge into their dorm in your bathrobe just so you can tell them something stupid. Someone who hates the boy you hate just because you hate them (DeBORah/Delores & Spawn of Satan & SOI [Who is SOI? I don't remember...]). Someone who sends you the grosssssest snapchats. Someone who will steal your phone and take pictures of themselves 'pinching' your booty. Someone who doesn't mind cuddling even though its only a twin sized bed. Someone who doesn't believe you when you say that everything is "fine". Someone who sends you pins from pinterest during class so that you look stupid when you are trying to hold in your laughter. Someone who tags you in relate-able instagram posts. Someone who talks about living together in a house when you're old so that your kids can be best friends and so that I can raise yo babies. Someone who you can tell your greatest doubts to and they reassure you. Someone who you are completely comfortable with.

Quotes via Pinterest (thanks Emma)
"A true friend is one who lifts you up to a higher standard."
"Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for you who are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile & who LOVE YOU no matter what."
"Best friends: They know how stupid you are and still choose to be with you in public."
"Best friends are people who make your problems their problems, just so you don't have to go through them alone"
"Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life and said 'I'm here for you' and proved it'."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Friendship is^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
