Minor Differences

Caitlin and I are similar in all the ways that matter. We have a lots of things in common, and lots of them are what makes us such good friends. However, I also think it's the differences that also make us close! We have more in common than we do differences, but we still have plenty of things that make us individuals and set us apart.
First off, Caitlin loves coffee. I touched on this in my past blog post, but really, her love for coffee is unreal. I'd like to point out that it's probably an addiction. I'm not going to claim it's unhealthy, but. I don't drink coffee and I very much don't like it. The only time I force myself to drink coffee is if I only got 3 hours of sleep the night before. And I know for certain that if I don't drink caffeine I will pass out before I make it to class or work. These are very rare moments, whereas Caitlin looks for a coffee shop on instinct, because she's a bit obsessed. It's fine though, because even though I'm dragged along, I am a fan of tea and muffins so I'll just get one of those.
Secondly, Caitlin is from Boston, so she loves her Patriots like any other person from Boston. And like any other person from Boston, the patriots are "the best ever and Tom Brady is the GOAT."Clearly I don't agree with this. I hate Tom Brady, and because he's a part of the Patriots, my hatred has moved to hating the entire team. Sorry, guys. Anyways, Caitlin was more excited about this Superbowl than anyone, and I was never more excited for the patriots to lose. We didn't talk about it that much the next day because I know it was a hard hit in the pride for all those patriots fans, but I think they needed the punch to the ego personally. Caitlin wasn't too poor of a sport about it, but it's still a sore spot even now.
Thirdly, Caitlin refuses to own or compliment any Apple products. To her anything that isn't Apple is far superior. She has an Android, and always tells me, "Steph, you should get an Android" and I always say, "Caitlin, I had an android for the last five years, I just switched because Apple is better." Those aren't words that Caitlin believes, but I now own everything Apple. I have an Apple computer, Iphone, Ipad, watch. I'm very much a fan of Apple. Caitlin stands firm against Apple, and I know for a fact that there will be no changing her mind.
I'm loud, and I know this. I'm aware that I'm a very outgoing person. Caitlin is a people person, but she's in no way as loud as me, or as crazy. I'd have to say I'm aware that although I don't go out as much as her, I'm a bit more crazy. I also tell myself that she want's me to go out more because she know's I'm a crazy person.
Finally, the biggest difference between Caitlin and I is she love to take pictures and post them all over social media. See, I don't mind photo's if I know they aren't going to go anywhere, but with Caitlin I know she's going to post them everywhere. So when I'm around her I tend to hide when she takes photos, or I make sure I'm at least hiding my face. She is always snapping pictures with her phone, and asking for us to take pictures with her. I've said no plenty of times.
Caitlin and I are different, but as you can see it's all minor things. Nothing that make this friendship difficult, if anything these difference's make us closer.

  1. Stephanie, Good discussion of how differences can bring you closer to another person, while still allowing each to be have her own personality. Good job of providing details on your differences.
