Five Friends You Need To Have In Your Life

beaver for presidentYou can be the most popular girl in the world or you can be the shyest wallflower to ever exist, but things will go much smoother for you if you have five specific friends in your Rolodex (look it up) that you can call on for five specific things.

Five Friends You Need To Have

1. The Music Friend
Sure, you may think that you know music. You can name bands. You can create a play-list that rawks. But there exists a special kind of person that knows the soul of the music scene. This kind of person knows about an artist before the radio does and they know all the stuff the radio will never play. Find this friend and have them help you cultivate your taste. Prepare to be amazed. (bonus: mixed cd’s!)

2. The Clothing Trend Friend
You’ve figured out that wide-legged jeans look like crud on your fine and fabulous figure, but now what? You need a friend that genuinely finds pleasure in helping other people (you!) look good. This is VERY different from a friend that likes to go shopping with you. You know you’ve found your perfect clothing friend when you get an e-mail from them with a link to a stunning a-line dress and a little note that says, “this is so you!”

3. The Eddie Haskell Friend
You probably don’t know who the fark Eddie Haskell is so without flicking you on the ear for not being up to date on fantastic classic TV (Leave it to Beaver, folks, educate yourself!) I will just say that Eddie was the best friend of one of the characters on the show. Parents LOVED him so he was always allowed to come over. The joke was that he was actually kind of a dick. I’m not saying be friends with a dick, but I am suggesting that you have at least one friend that your parents don’t hate.

4. The Dark Secret/Shared Experience Friend
You did stuff and/or saw something and no one else on the planet gets it. This is the person that was with you when you got that horrible phone call. This is the person that you immediately called when you did something wrong and you couldn’t figure out how to undo it. They are the Thelma to your Louise.

5. The No Effort Friend
You need a friend that you can sit in a coffee shop and not talk to. This is the friend that is so easy to be with that just being in each other’s company is restorative. You want this person to be drama free – or at the very least someone that faces drama head on.

Go forth and friend!
