[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your daughter's perspective is normal. My senior DD is so excited for college. She's just committed to a school she's really enthusiastic about (which is a few states away), she can't wait to make new friends and get the heck out of the confinement of high school and have new freedoms. She's excited for the social life and fun of college and (she says) all the new academic and extracurricular challenges too. I do notice more girls than boys being at this stage of readiness but that could be purely anecdotal among my friends' kids.[/quote]

My Senior son is 100% ready, but he is also older (late Fall bday) so he was 18 in October.  He will be almost 19 at the start of college.

I see myself 100% in him. While I enjoyed HS, it wasn't my 'glory days'--even winning a State title and excelling, I wanted more.  Things started to seem trivial.  Also, I felt like everything I did was leading up to getting into college somewhat--keeping grades up, etc.  It was such a huge relief when acceptances came and I was ready to move on.  [/quote]

This is a good point. I’m one of the PPs whose senior DD isn’t really looking forward to college yet. She’s also on the young side, won’t be 18 until after she starts college. [/quote]
