[quote=Anonymous]For me, 1994.  I was going to a school four hours away.  My parents AND grandparents came (my grandparents were very into everything being equal and they'd gone to move my brother into his dorm too, which is why they came to mine).

We brought two car trunk-fuls of stuff.  I remember my dad saying I was not being efficient - that I was taking everything out and putting it on the bed and THEN putting it away, instead of just directly putting things where they would go.

My parents and grandparents stayed at a nearby hotel.  We went to the local KMart and my mom bought me two posters - it was the first time I'd ever been allowed to put posters up on my walls and I was very excited.  Then I had orientation stuff after lunch.  So the five of us went out to lunch, then I went to college stuff, and that was it.  My parents and grandparents left the following morning.

That weekend was the last time I ever saw my grandma - she died suddenly four months later, during finals week.  I was supposed to call my parents every Sunday and Wednesday night, but was allowed to call more often if I wanted.  [/quote]
