Sometimes you don’t even need money to support your friends. You’ve probably seen on Twitter, “a simple retweet could help me reach my next customer.” Well….retweet it! Repost it on Instagram. Share it on Facebook. Then bam: support proven.

Friend is an aspiring designer and is having their very own fashion show at 4 pm. Of course you’ll be there, on the front row! But you’ll be way too tired to go to the club later. All that sitting and clapping wore you out.

Let’s say your friend is in a play, and you go by yourself. Of course you cute! And now you’re free to do all the flirting you want, because your hating ass homegirl….is the friend you came to support, and she’s busy on stage. Get your man, girl.

You ever had a friend who didn’t have a job, yet swore they could change the world if they just had the right support?

And as more people forget about friend, you stayed true, even at the risk of looking crazy or losing your own friends. Well keep it up; I didn’t watch the Big Game either. Word to Colin Kaepernick.
