1. Share your favorite things. If there is a certain book series you love to read, then why not tell your friend about it? They just might come to live it too, and then you'll be able to talk about the series together.
2. Work together. Be it on a project for school or on a birthday cake, working on something with a friend makes dull work easier to get through.
3. Be supportive. The acceptance or disapproval of a friend often strikes deeper than if the opinion came from a stranger. So think carefully on how you show your support for your friend.
4. Laugh together. Laughter can be an amazing thing. But it can also be harmful. So when you laugh with your friend, be sure that it is with them, and not at their expense.
5. Help them. Is your friend going out of town for a week and needs someone to watch their ferret? If you can help, then don't hesitate to. Ferrets can be extremely adorable.
6. Stand by their side. In times of struggle, knowing that your friend is there beside you can help strengthen a person's shoulders with the knowledge that they are not alone.
7. Keep them grounded. Sometimes, friends think up some crazy dreams. Though there are times to chase after a dream, other times call for a friend to help you know when something is beyond your current reach.
8. Be kind. A gentle word, a friendly smile. Sometimes all your friend needs is to know that someone cares about them.
9. Say hello. Friendship does not usually spring up unannounced and proceed without any effort. So go up and say hello, and give a stranger the chance to become something more.
10. Don't eat the last cookie. Especially if you know that it is your friend's favorite.
