Bye-bye freshmen

Cheryl Clemens | 08/25/10

My oldest is 18 and while most of his friends are preparing to leave for college or have already left, Danny is still at home. He was accepted into the Rouse Scholar Program and will attend Howard Community College for the next two years.

While I know he is eager to break free and be independent, I feel as though I’ve gotten a reprieve. He may be ready to let go, but I’m sure not.

Which is why I had to laugh when I read this story about parents who deliver their kids to their college dorms, but then can’t seem to leave. Some colleges are starting to take drastic measures to get parents out in a timely manner so freshmen can get settled.

Yes, I know. I’m laughing now. In two years, it might not be so funny…
