Off To College!

C-Day is here. The day all high school kids look forward to. Or is it? Every teen is supposedly eager to run away from their friends and family, and live as far away as possible. It's great to live without your parents, and friends, and everyone who has helped you come this far, right? I mean, every teen loves to do their own laundry, make their own bed, and they love cooking their own food. If they have any problems with their school work, they of course will pay for a tutor to help them. The truth is, college should definitely be a time of education, and fun. However, it may not be such a bad idea to live a tad bit closer to home. If you think about it from a parent's perspective, their child leaving for a college that is far away, may equate in their mind almost to losing that child. It will never be as merry in the house, and if their child has any siblings, living without that child will be even tougher because the siblings aren't used to living without that child. It's like a void in everyone's life. Many parents cry the day their child leaves for college, instead of being happy, because chances are, that child won't come home often, or even call home. Leaving for college is an important milestone in every teen's life. They should just consider staying close to home, to help out their parents and siblings. P.S. C-Day is an acronym I made up for College Day.
