Alright, here's the show.

When Delina Abraham was in college, she had a friendship that felt really special.

The kind where you survive breakups together, celebrate together, and are just constantly

by each other's side.

Like we would laugh all the time about how people thought we were dating because just

we were inseparable and we fully embrace that.

I was like, yeah, I'm your soul mate.

Fuck these guys.

Like, let's just get married.

Delina met Priya Balagopal in college in North Carolina.

Priya was a few years older, but even after she graduated, she'd visit Delina all the

time, practically lived in her apartment.

They'd go out to dinner, go dancing, they'd run errands together.

When Delina went through a break up, Priya made her a specialized set of mixed tapes,

one for each stage of a break up.

The first was labeled, this sucks.

And like, they're all like really sad songs, but the fourth one is like, I'm hot bitch.

And like, it's always like Beyonce and like, Cardi B.
