Once the six most greatly incomparable months of your life are over, the only remnants you have leftover are to maintain the friendships you formed. Even though this will be your most expensive friendship ever...your loyalty to each other will put an actual LDR to shame. These pals have taught you why investing in experience is more valuable than ever investing in material items.

11. They've seen you at your worst
