College Best Friend Vs. High School Best Friend

Am I cheating on my best friend?

College Best Friend Vs. High School Best Friend

College is hard. In high school, I ruled the hallways and the teachers. I was the queen of social and organized--not so much anymore. The adjustment to college has been huge, but the biggest one of all was leaving my best friend behind. I obviously told her everything and she was my go to for a movie date or a raging party, we were attached at the hip.


As someone who was friends or at least aquaintences with most of the people in my graduating class, I thought I would have no trouble making friends in college. The only problem was that I had sort of forgotten how!

So it's like the third week of school and I found a group of girls to go out with, and I really got along with a girl who is like my twin. I decided the best way to make friends was to be upfront and I straight up said, "Lets be friends". Well, that girl is now my college best friend. This my struggle: am I cheating on my high school best friend? How can I have two best friends?

I've decided that since my high school best friend goes to a different college, having two best friends is totally normal. I still call my high school best friend every week, but when I need a study buddy or someone to eat dinner with and look at Tinder matches with, my college best friend of there to support me.


They know about each other and the great thing is, that they have other best friends too! When I am locked in my room finishing a final paper, I know that they have someone they can turn to for advice. And when it's me that need help, I have not only one, but two amazing best friends to turn to!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
