If you have a bestie of the opposite sex, congratulations! Life might not roll out like a KJo movie and that’s pretty cool! 😉
There are countless rad things about having a best friend of the opposite sex and some of them are awesome AF and have made it to our list:

Someone who isn’t like you simply adds to the ‘different and hep’ quotient in your life by taking away from all that’d otherwise be ‘same and normal,’ now that’s cool, right? Didn’t you hear variety is the spice of life?
2. Couple passes

Now judge me for this, but if you have been broke half your life, you know exactly what I mean. Couple passes always cost less and it never hurts to be a pretend couple for some happening parties. #MonthEndSalaryWoes #ButNeverSayNOToParty
3. No BS
