We are all grown ups here?
Ok, the students are all returning to school and the campus is once again buzzing with activity.
Is it just me?
I find it ironic that parents who have decided that their kids are mature enough to attend a university "away from home", have to come to campus and walk their kid through the first few days of orientation, etc. because they don't know what they are doing. It makes little sense to me. How are they ever going to learn to do things on their own if you don't just let them make their own mistakes. Better it be done on a college campus where mistakes are fixable, than in real life.
As I said, it makes no sense to me.
