Yes, you can have more than one best friend. But you’ll always have a number one bestie, of course.
Your childhood BFF.
This will be the first non-family friend you ever make. You'll have sleepovers, lick Play-Doh together, and do a lot of stuff that isn't terribly safe and might leave one of your limbs in a cast. (Thank you, Robert, for my broken wrist in the second grade.) That being said, some of your very best memories of being silly will be with this friend, so definitely enjoy it.
Your high school BFF.
Basically the best thing to come out of high school will be your high school BFF. I mean, sure, getting a solid education is cool too... But how would you have even survived all those classes without knowing that you'd have your bestie to sit with at lunch?! The high school BFF is also privy to a lot of firsts: first crush, first kiss, first humiliating moment at a dance — they end up knowing each and every one of your dirty secrets, and you wouldn't have it any other way.
The kid next door.
This is a friend you make out of sheer proximity, and they're awesome, because when you need someone to hang with, all you have to do is knock. Your parents probably got used to having them over for dinners a lot, and vice versa.
Your college BFF.
Granted, your college BFF may also be the same person you had as a BFF in high school. But more often than not, you've met a lot of new people, and one of those new people will be the person you're closest with in college. You'll go to parties together, talk about dating, pick each other up when you're going through the tough stuff, and probably live together at some point. Hell, I traveled abroad with my college BFF!
The college BFF is the person who helps you figure out who you're going to be when you get out of college, and they're special because they end up seeing you change a whole lot throughout those four years.
