10 Fun & Meaningful Text Messages to Send Your Best Friend
If you want to surprise them with laughter or sentiment, try one of these clever messages you can send to a friend any time.
You see her as the beautiful, graceful, genius that she is. But she may not always see herself that way. Surprise her with a purely complimentary text, no strings attached. Be specific and mention the things you truly love and admire about your bestie.
You might text: Can't believe I get to call you my best friend. You're killing it at work, your kindness is inspiring, and your smile lights up every room you walk into. I'd be jealous if I didn't love you so much.
This is the sort of text that doesn't need a lead-in or an occasion. Just type it out and send it off.
You know she has a big exam tomorrow morning or she's planning to ask for a raise this afternoon. Take a second to send an encouraging text and let her know she's on your mind and you're cheering her on. Don't forget to pump her up with all the confidence you have in her.
You might text: Thinking of you this morning and how hard you're going to crush it today.
You know that one moment you shared with your bestie that still makes you laugh hysterically when you think about it? Shoot them a reminder of just how funny it was. Sometimes the best texts to receive are ones that remind you of happy moments shared with someone you love.

Meaningful texts and reminiscing about fun times are always welcomed, but certain times call for pure chaos. Catch your friend completely off guard in the middle of an ordinary day with the most random text you can think of.
You might text: Just saw a pigeon walk away with an empty bag of potato chips and it made me think of you.
Your bestie is the person you can be your weirdest self with. They probably match your chaotic energy most of the time, but a text to check in never hurts.
You might text: Would we still be friends if I were a worm?
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then memes must be averaging at least ten thousand. A meme war is always fun, but one with your best friend offers even more chances to laugh. You might play on inside jokes or just see who can find the most ridiculous meme on the internet.
You don't need to type a single word, just send a random meme to make them laugh and leave the ball in their court.

Let's be honest, the texts we share with our bestie are most often spilling some sort of tea about life. It's either our parents, our partners, or our coworkers we're venting about — and no one gets it quite like our supportive best friend.
But what about a spot of imaginary tea? Try playing out a gossip session that's entirely fabricated or vague until your bestie catches on.
The key to a great text is knowing what your bestie finds funny and what they don't. If this sort of approach wouldn't make them laugh, it's probably best to try something else.
It's always fun to compare personalities with some of our favorite television besties. Shoot a text to your best friend asking them what famous duo you're most like and let them know your thoughts. It might be fun to see how different or similar your answers are.
You might text: I've always thought of you as the Spongebob to my Patrick, but maybe we're more of a Nick Miller and Schmidt these days. Thoughts?
If you're searching for a reason to spend quality time with your best friend, look no further than food. Bring it up in your usual chat and watch the plans unfold.
You might text: I've been craving a cheesesteak from that place near your house.
Wait for them to text back "say less" and you're well on your way to a night of good eats with your favorite person.
You've always joked about being there when there's a body to hide. Maybe now is the time to test that little theory and play out a worst-case scenario until your best friend realizes it's all in jest.

One thing you can count on is that whatever text you send your best friend, you'll get an answer. Whether you chat all day, every day, or a little less often, you know they certainly won't leave you on read and they'll never ghost you mid-conversation. Shoot the text with full confidence that your notifications will be buzzing in no time.

Sydney Sweeney Is Facing A Backlash Over Her New American Eagle Campaign. Here's What People Are Saying
Sydney Sweeney's new collaboration with the fashion brand American Eagle has become the centre of a whole lot of debate. The Euphoria star unveiled a new campaign with the American clothing brand last week, to promote their line of denim last week. However, it didn't take long before social media clips to promote the deal sparked a wave of discomfort among many critics, largely due to some of the language that's used in the campaign. This is the story so far… What is Sydney Sweeney's new ad campaign for American Eagle all about? For American Eagle's autumn 2025 campaign, Sydney Sweeney can be seen sporting items from the brand's denim range, including a new pair of jeans inspired by her. The campaign also makes use of the slogan 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans', a pun on the term 'great genes'. In another, she explains: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour.' 'My jeans are blue,' she then quips, at which point a narrator delivers the line: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Why are some people upset about Sydney Sweeney's new ads for American Eagle? Unfortunately this repeated use of the slogan 'great jeans', a pun on 'great genes', has put some viewers in mind of the language used by white supremacists and eugenicists. By centring a blonde, white star in a campaign referencing 'genes', some critics are accusing the brand of tone-deafness at best – particularly in the current political climate – and deliberately pushing a white supremacist agenda at worst. HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for both Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle for comment. Others are pointing out that Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign doesn't mention one other important aspect of the product American Eagle's new 'Sydney Jean' features a butterfly detail on its back pocket, in a nod to domestic violence awareness, a cause which the White Lotus star has championed throughout her career. In fact, an American Eagle press release confirmed that '100% of the purchase price from 'The Sydney Jean' will be donated to Crisis Text Line', a charity in the US which aims to help those affected by domestic violence. However, the ads are also being criticised for not highlighting this key part of the campaign, with some saying its accompanying slogan is even more jarring as a result. Has Sydney Sweeney or American Eagle said anything about the controversy? Not yet, but we'll be sure to keep you updated if and when they do… READ MORE: Glen Powell's Ex Makes Veiled Comments About How Sydney Sweeney Rumours Affected Relationship Sydney Sweeney Fires Back After Producer's Takedown Of Her Looks And Talent Sydney Sweeney Makes Blunt Comment On Women's Empowerment In Hollywood

Access More Than 30,000 Movies and TV Shows With This One Free Item
When I was an undergraduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I added a concentration in film studies as part of my English and Comparative Literature degree. This choice exposed me to the marvelous world of film scholarship, adding to my already fervent love for movies. The decision also meant I was screening anywhere from four to seven movies each week for assignments and my honors thesis. The one platform that saved me throughout my semesters of frantic screenings was the streaming service Kanopy. Kanopy is an on-demand video platform that boasts a catalog of 30,000-plus titles, including classics, film noirs and award nominees. And unlike other streaming services like Netflix that are consistently raising their prices, Kanopy is still free. As a college student, I had free access to the platform with my university email address. The best part -- besides Kanopy being ad-free -- is that I didn't have to give up my account after I graduated; I'm still streaming its robust offerings for free thanks to my public library card. Below, I'll show you how you can sign up with Kanopy, and why it's worth it.

These credits do not carry over if you don't use them. Why is there a monthly limit? CNET Kanopy works on a pay-per-checkout model, meaning the public library system pays a small fee each time you check out a title. By limiting checkouts to 10 titles per month, libraries can ensure they stay on budget. Which films are offered on Kanopy?
