thanks xxxxxxx
 
AT some point you will have to be seperated!! Go for the job, otherwise you will end up thinking "what if" for the rest of your life. Do you drive?
 
Take the job, you would be stupid not to. You cant spend the whole life doing things with your best friend and I am sorry but 2 1/2 hours is not that big a distance.
 
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but some day you will have to grow up and do things separately! And 2.5 hours isn't that far away. You can still see eachother and with the phone and itnernet, keeping in touch is so easy. Definitely take the job! Sounds exciting, good luck!

All good advice - totaly agree

How stupid will you feel when you lose touch and you have missed this grand opportunity?

When life throws you something, grab it by both balls!
 
I'm a 17 year old too, so I know how it feels if you want to do something badly but don't want to leave people behind.

I live 6 hours from the uni I was looking at! But I figure, if they really are your 'best' friends, the distance will make no difference to you guys.

Plus - we're setting up for our futures - don't risk any regrets!

Hope that helps

thanks everyone... thats true if we are such good friends nothing will change,.,.shes got a new job... so she'll need to focus on that for a bit anyways- and i suppose if i don't like it i can always come back.. but im sure i will....

its just all the goodbyes and stuff that are horrible but ... ill go for it..

and yes we both drive well im takin my test soon but she does....

xxxxxxxxxxx thansk again xxxxxxxxxxx

i spose wat if we fel out tomorrow and then i'd be gutted i didnt take the job xxxx
 
This will sound harsh, and it's what everyone else here has said but you cannot live your life for someone else - you have summed it up by your last sentence.

Take the job and go for it, this sounds like a brilliant opportunity, one that many others would jump at. You will still be friends no matter where in the world you both are and plus technology now affords us the priveledge of internet and mobile phones!!!

Go for it!!!!
