friend troubles

I mean if you have already explained it to her then there's not much to do. if she doesn't believe you then that's a her problem and lowkey why would she even care? Honestly, if someone applied to the same unis as me i wouldn't bat an eye, there aren't that many great unis in the uk anyway

bro then she is just a gatekeeping and not in a good way

tell her you applied to all the same accommodation too. ask her now if she wants to be flatmates in second year. plan what societies to join together. if she's a real friend she'll want to stay friends at university. maybe you could do matching outfits??

my friend has recently got upset with me due to me applying to some of the same universities as her. just to clarify i told her i wasn't applying to the same ones because of our friendship, but because they'd always been at the back of my mind.
since she applied early, i think it now looks like ive intentionally copied her and the fact that i didn't say anything earlier to her about it makes it look like i was covering it up, which i genuinely wasn't it's just that i was scared she was going to think i was only applying because she was.
plus it was only two universities with complete different courses from her? i don't like to cross boundaries with people and i understand maybe feeling territorial over a university but i knew if i didn't apply id regret it. anyone have any advice on how to handle this?
