5 Forms Of Affection For Your Friends

Results may vary.

1. High Fives

A symbolic gesture as old as time and my personal favorite. Above is some very impressive high fivery and the dedication is commendable, but I think the best high fives are the ones where you lean over a table, reallyyy going for that connection of slapping another person's hand, all at the possibility of draping your nice clothes over your food that the waiter/waitress has given you. So it's obvious that if your friend does not go at lengths to possibly get their clothes messy for a high five, you may have to start reconsidering your friend's priorities.

2. Pointing out a store's student discount

Do you have a friend that goes to college so they can get those $weet student discount perks? Most stores do offer student discounts if you ask. The picture above is from Madewell, as my friend mentions this is her favorite thing I've done for her as credited here:

3. Passive aggressive gifts for when your friends move away for a short period of time

Sometimes your friends will do this weird things where they go away for the summer without your consent. As depicted here, I made a DIY banner saying, "Fuck NE!" because that's where my friend was going.

*please note I have nothing against Nebraska personally*

4. Taking them to Dick's Last Resort

Dick's is this charming restaurant where you are intentionally treated pretty poorly by the staff with hats and laugh it off like you don't keep repeating flashbacks of being bullied during your adolescence. You're usually seated with strangers too, so you can always have someone to laugh at that you can feel no remorse about.

Here are two of my friends from that same day with their hats fitting perfectly together like a rom-com waiting to be made.

5. Faux photos with Harry Styles

There's this beautiful app called Cut Me In that works like a very run of the mill Photoshop. I mainly use it to Photoshop myself into photos with One Direction because I know they're too intimidated to ask me to join them upfront, but sometimes I use my powers for good and match my friends with Harry Styles because it is never a bad thing.

bonus points to level up that friendship if you use this handy fake tweet generator to enhance the emphasis on the non-consent of Harry Styles being Photoshopped into pictures he doesn't know the people in at all.
