Not being comfortable around friends

So my two friends and me have been together for 5 years now, but the thing is that I don't feel that comfortable around them , like I'm not really myself, and also feel kinda awkward. And I just found out that they will be going to the same college as me, and honestly I'm kinda ****ed but I also don't want to seem rude by just ignoring them, I just wanna make some new friends at college, and just not spend much time with my two 'friends'. What should I do and how should I only focus on my life and myself

It's okay to feel this way around friends - people change, and you change too, and perhaps the way you're feeling is a result of yourself growing as a person. Depending on how you go about it, you could either be honest with them and say you'd like to meet new people and so might have less time with them, OR if you want to avoid conflict and be sneaky about it, just busy yourself with other activities and people and slowly spend less time with them that way. Hope this helps :3
