My Best Friend
My best friend is someone who I have known my entire life. He is a person who understands me, even during times I might not make sense to other people. Unlike other friends, he is almost part of my family. My parents accept him like a brother to me, and he is very comfortable in my home. Without having to say anything to him, he understands how I might feel about certain situations, and during times that might not be too good, he knows what to do to make me laugh and feel better. My best friend is a person who I know that I can count on. We might make fun of each other and call each other names, but that’s part of how our friendship works. We usually say things to each other that people might consider mean, however it’s somehow okay if my best friend says it. It’s almost like an unwritten rule between us, that we know not to take jokes too seriously or to get offended with what the other says. My best friend is like family, even when he doesn’t tell me that he needs anything, I know what I can do to help. He is someone that I involve in all my plans, and someone who I know will always remember me when he is thinking about doing something. I think that a best friend is different from any other kind of friend because you know that you can count on them. You don’t have to say anything specific to let them know how you feel or what you are thinking, because even though you might not agree on everything, they already understand you from the inside. You might not necessarily like the same band, the same television shows or the same movies, but your best friend will sit there and listen to your playlist with you just because they are your best friend. He might make fun of you about it, but you know that it’s okay.
My Regular Friend
A regular friend is someone that you might spend time with during given occasions, but you do not necessarily make an effort to be with them all the time. My regular friend is someone I met in college. We share the same classes, and often times, when we both have the same schedule, we might have lunch together or go to the same party. However, we don’t always hang-out. My regular friend hasn’t met my parents, and I don’t really talk about him to my folks. I might have mentioned something about him, but unlike my best friend, my parents don’t ask how he is or what he is doing. My regular friend is nice and can at times, be thoughtful. He will not say anything offensive to me, even in a joking manner. I think that those things are reserved for people who you can consider as your best friend or a really close friend. I don’t know if my regular friend knows when my birthday is, but I’m not really sure about his. I know what month it is, but I’m not too sure about the date. If ever he needs anything from me, I’m sure I’ll try to help, but no guarantees since I do have a busy schedule and I, too have my own needs. Unlike my friendship with my best friend, I don’t know if I can rely on my regular friend for favors. I know that he’s a nice person, but I don’t think that our friendship is deep enough for that sort of thing.
