So now I feel bad because my mom and I talked, and the reason she's been so crazy lately is that she really is trying to squeeze last minute information into my tiny brain before I go off to college. o_o

been there done that

[nikki_squared]

As a girl with experience in this area let me tell you a thing or two I learned while getting ready to pack up and leave for college.
1) No matter how they act otherwise, your siblings will miss you.
2) As the firstborn your parents are scared to death (more for them than you), the realization that you are indeed going to college and won't be sleeping in your bedroom at home as often.
3) They want to make sure that you have fond memories of home.
4) At this point fights with the parental units are more for them than anything else. They have no other way to express their emotions and are otherwise confused. They do this so they can have a heart to heart with you later in hopes that you will spill the beans in the fact that you too are nervous and scared about certain things that the future holds.
Ok, so that was more than 1 or 2, but what can I say, I could have written more. ;)
later gator!

They certainly are doing a grand job of making me have fond memories at home, fighting with me all the time. Meh.

I understand that they're frustrated. With more than just me leaving (like Grandfather, for instance).

My parents drive me mad lol. :3

Parents-that's their job (to drive their children insane!) and when they get older, their parents drive your parents insane. I swear, it's a vicious circle.
