7 Types of Friends We All Have

You know your friend who's constantly eating, but doesn't gain a pound? Or how about the one friend who hangs out at your house when you aren't home? Most people have at least one of these types of friends. They're just so hard to avoid in life. And trust me, if you haven't really met someone like this yet, you most definitely will.

The skinny friend who should weigh over 300 pounds. Don't even try to hide it. We all have one friend who eats 10 meals a day and looks like an Olympic gold medalist. How do you have a six pack if you eat so much? I eat  unsalted almonds as a snack and struggle to have a flat stomach. Share you genes!

The house warmer. You know, your friend that sends you a selfie at your house while you aren't home. I don't know about you, but I'm about to give my friends a house key by the amounts of times they go over while I'm not there. It'll save my parents a few trips of opening the door.

The loud one. You always know they're in the room because their voice is so, so loud. And they also use the same phrases over and over again. As obnoxious as they could get, you always miss their voice when it's been too long.

The boyfriend/girlfriend obsessed friend. It's ok. People go through obsessive phases... I was once obsessed with the Jonas Brothers, this friend is still obsessed with their long time significant other. They may not even think they're obsessed, that's the scary part.

The family member. Whether it be your brother, sister, mom, or dad, we all have a family member we consider a friend. While most prevalent among siblings, only children tend to have extremely close, friendly relationships with one of their parents (from what I've experienced).

The 'long time no talk'-er. Friends like these are my favorite. You can go weeks, even months without seeing them or talking to them, and the moment you do, nothing has changed. They still listen when you need them too, and they still make you pee in your pants from laughter when you finally catch up.

The party friend. This friend isn't necessarily going to give you advice when you're crying at 3 a.m., but they're most definitely always down to go to a different club at 3 a.m. Your party friend is always good to have around on nights when you can't seem to find anyone to go out with (especially if it's a Tuesday... Who goes out on Tuesdays?). Plus side: they always seem to know someone who knows someone who gets you in for free. (Free is a college student's favorite word, especially when cover is over $10.)

There are so many more types of friends; the list would go on and on. No matter how annoying some of these friends could get (especially the one who doesn't gain weight while you're eating celery for breakfast, lunch, and dinner), they're necessary to have around for a fun, happy life. I don't know where I'd be without my friends, and they most definitely fall into some of these categories. Feel free to send me a message with other types of friends; I can add them to the post!
