college life

Should parents be going back to college and when is a good time to go back it you decide to?

On April 31, I finally chose a college! I rushed over to my library and paid my admission fee and housing deposit. It was such a relief that after months of going back and forth between what college to attend, that I finally chose a college.

Some of you may be heading to college in the fall. There is an endless numbers of decisions to be made and things to think and worry about. Will I like college? Will I do well? Will the food be good? Will the professors be nice? Will I get along with my roommate? Who will my roommate be?

What if you could choose a member of the opposite sex as a roommate?

I have not been sick in my first couple semesters of college until today. I couldn't even tell you how I have the energy to type this, since I look and feel like death, but it seems to be an important issue.

What do you think of when you hear that something is a stereotype? Usually, I'd easily assume you have a similar reaction to mine. Stereotypes are bad, or wrong, or misleading. Stereotypes tell us that all women belong in the kitchen or all black people are "gangstas" and the like. Especially if you've spent any amount of time on this site, you'd see some stereotypes aren't quite so bad.

In the first couple days of attending a college or university you can learn a lot about college life. For example:

1. Microwaves aren't an amenity. They're a lifeline. Sometimes, it's okay to just stay in the dorm for certain meals and all-too-common snacktimes.

I am in my senior year of highschool and trying to decide if I want to go away to college or not. I told myself over the last four years that I would, but now that the time is here, I'm not so sure. I'm trying to find out which is better. Of course, my mother wants me to stay in town, telling me I'm more familiar with my surrounding and that my family is here if I need them.

As the first person in my family to go to college, at times I felt lost in not only the application process, but also when I arrived at my university.
