I have two best friends and I really can’t choose between them.  My two best friends are also my room mates.  Adam and matt have been my best friends for a long time.  We met in middle school when we all joined the cross country team in 7^th grade.  We became friend through being team mates.  We all ran cross country and joined the track team for 6 years.  I have been close and hung out with them a lot ever since we met.  Our freshman year, they moved to Devola, which is where I have lived all my life.  We started hanging out a lot more once they moved closer because I could just walk or ride my bike over to their house.  Once we could drive, we would take turns driving to school and to practice.  The three of us and another friend had a combined graduation party because we’ve been friends for so long that we had a lot of people in common to invite.  Last year we didn’t live together but I spent a lot of time going over to their dorm to hangout and we all went out together just about every weekend.  I had a single last year and it’s so small it wasn’t a very good place to hangout.  This year was the first time we lived together and although we get on each others nerves at times, we have similar interests and opinions on things so we can usually work through our problems.
