<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

I want to. I know it's what's best. She went to college this year and we've been doing long distance for a while now, and I hate it so much. I want to be single after I leave but I don't want to break up with her.

We talked about it and I'm supposed to meet back up with her again after college, but she is honestly my best friend and when I break up with her I'm not just losing my girlfriend of 2 years. I'm losing my best friend. She is not happy and she does not want to be friends if we break up. She keeps telling me how all her friends think I'm an idiot for breaking up with her, not that I really care what they think.

How do I go about this? How do I make it a clean break with no fights? Can I stay friends with this girl? I've never broken up with anyone so I don't even know what to say.
<bot>: My girlfriend and I are breaking up when I go to college. How can I make this as smooth as possible and potentially remain friends?
