NEED A REFRESHER on what it means to be a good friend? Here. Have this.

Funny and all, except Cory actually stuck to his word. Every day, he left a comment on Dustin’s status, counting down to his next birthday:

After the first month or so, people started complimenting Cory on his dedication to the cause – but to him, it was all about ‘being a good friend’.

As the time ticked closer and closer to his birthday, Dustin had an existential crisis of sorts.

What’s going to happen to our friendship once this is over, Cory??
