When choosing a college in my senior year of high school I made the decision to attend the same school as my best friend. While it may not have been the main reason I picked Fitchburg State, going to school with the bestie definitely had some appeal to it.

When we received our room assignments we were quite livid to find out that we were not each other’s roommates, instead we were next door neighbors. After coming to terms with this unexpected hiccup in our plans we decided to give our assigned roommates a chance. While mine turned out to be everything I had hoped for, hers was nothing short of a disappointment, and it soon became clear that she saw my new roommate as competition for her role as my best friend.
After having several discussions about the fact that no one could ever take her place as my best friend, I think that everything has worked out for the best. However, if our friendship wasn’t as strong as it is, going to school with my best friend could have very likely either prevented me from making any news friends, or ruined the best friendship I ever had.
