The Real Grown-Ups

This isn't just one person, it's a couple. They got married soon after high school and grew up. Now they host fancy dinner parties with cheeses you've never heard of and wine that doesn't come in a box.

If this person isn't at work, you will find them glued to their tablet responding to important emails. It's a little weird to meet up with them for a drink, because they always look like they just stepped out of the office.

Besides Facebook, they are on Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat and use some apps that you've never even heard of. They take a photo of every meal before eating and are always trying to get you to take a selfie with them.

The One Stuck in the Past

This is the friend who always wants to reminisce about high school or college. They aren't happy about how their life has turned out so far. They insist everything was better back then, and maybe they were right.

The One Obsessed With Better Beer

Have you gone to that new brewery in town? This friend has, and they are never without a drink. Their most important matter at hand is to decide where to eat based off of which place has the better bar.

It doesn't matter what time it is, this person is ready to go. They send you a text every day trying to get you to come out to some party. They know the best cures for hangovers.

This friend has a fashion sense that you just don't quite understand and music tastes that you can't keep up with. They know where to get the best concert tickets, though.

Still Living at Home

You can't ever go over to this person's house because they'd have to check with the folks first. They always have plenty of money, though, and have no problem buying a few rounds of beer. Unfortunately, they still have a curfew and better get home before one a.m.

Your Work Bestie

This friend is probably one of the most important friends you make in your twenties. Work buddies are essential for survival. Even though a prank pulling, goof-off of a person makes your job tolerable, hanging out with them outside of work feels like an episode of "The Twilight Zone."

The One Who Is Still Unemployed

You have no idea how this friend feeds themselves or pays the bills. They always seem to be "in between things right now." On the upside, they are always available to hang out.

The One Who Is Always Traveling

Whenever you get coffee with this person, they are jet-lagged and have tons of great stories. (like about backpacking in Europe). They can ask where the bathroom is in at least five languages.

The One Who Is Never There

You have been trying to catch up with this friend for over a year. Every once in a while you connect, but no one seems to know what they are up to, even though they claim to be busy all the time.
