<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I wanted to ask for advice about staying best friends with a person that has been my best friend in our high school. Unintentionally, we are going to the same college. I am worried that going to the same school will damage our friendship, that we might change from being super best friends to just friends. Is there anything i can do to keep our friendship as strong as it is now?</p>
<p>The friendship will inevitably evolve, but it may very well remain treasured and mutually-supportive. The healthiest thing, I think, is to be non-clingy. Have confidence in your relationship, and don’t resist change in either of you, or in the friendship. Be supportive of each other’s getting involved in new activities and new friendships that might not include the other – just as you would if you were on two different campuses – and then, hopefully, when you do spend time together, you will still have fun together, and continue to enjoy the almost-family kind of connection that two old friends who grew up together would have.</p>
