Late Night Life (By: Meggie Michael)

As you get older, choosing your friends becomes more and more important. It also seems to become more complex for some reason. When you’re in elementary school, you simply choose your best friend based on the size of her Barbie collection, and on whether or not she has cooties. By the time you reach junior high, your priorities typically shift to music and taste in boys. For example, my best friend in junior high had both the Hanson and the Destiny’s Child albums, Score!! On top of that, we shared a mutual love for Lance Bass (N'Sync). We were B.F.F.L’s (Best Friends For Life), to say the very least.

I asked a few of my college-level friends how they pick and choose friends nowadays. For the most part they all agree that having a shared interest in hobbies and music is “totally important.” Many also say their best friends are those that have been there for them in “rough times.” While I totally agree those things are "muy importante", I have my own little way of selecting close friends. Believe it or not, I’m a low maintenance kind of girl. They must possess only one particular quality... they have to be nocturnal! You stay up past 11 p.m. and you have plenty of potential in my book.

Here are just some pictures of the mischief my friends and I get in to. I like them because they stay up late. I love them because they are amazing (their big hearts and great sense of humors are just an added bonus).
