1. Celebrating your birthdays together – while looking fab – is a must.
2. When you need money for a girls’ night out (or a Lil Wayne concert), stealing office supplies is sometimes necessary.

7. Be comfortable enough around each other to make ugly faces.
8. Getting maced can be a bonding experience.

11. Ogling guys on the basketball court is always an acceptable pastime.
12. Sometimes you need to just call it a night so you can go home and watch Netflix.
13. Support each other’s financial successes. (Preferably with a sweet rap video fantasy.)
14. Always figure out who is the Bey and who is the Jay of the relationship.
15. Be a supportive wingwoman while your friend is trying to flirt.
16. Help each other stay sane while apartment hunting.

There you have it! A friendship to last a lifetime.
