No matter who comes and goes in a girl’s life — boyfriends, school friends, acquaintances — there is only one category of people that a girl can always count on: their girlfriends. These girlfriends are not just any group of girls. The close knit band of fellow females labeled as “girlfriends” is usually small, exclusive, and unfailingly loyal. Often years of history brings together these friends-for-life: years full of secrets, embarrassing stories, and watching each others’ backs. They do everything together, and accept each other no matter what. While other relationships can be temporary, every girl needs a group of loyal gal-pals to fall back on, and here’s why.
