[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a dinosaur. In the early 90s my parents helped me pack my car and i drove 15 hours to college by myself. DS is a rising senior and our oldest.  I would imagine the parting won't be quite as extreme as I experienced![/quote]

In 1987, I loaded my car and drive myself to college, too. Hugged my mom on the porch, got in the car, and pulled around the block to the gas station to fuel up. Then I put my head on the steering wheel and bawled for 10 minutes. I called my mom from a pay phone when I got to school. I cried for another 10 minutes when I hung up. After that I had a blast![/quote]

No one cares about stories from the 80s.[/quote]

Same experience for me in the 2000s except I had a cell phone to call home.

[b]I didn't see the need for my parents to come.[/b] I could unload the car on my own and if I hadn't wanted to they had upper classman volunteering to carry stuff that day.[/quote]

Good for you but, other kids/people have different needs and wants.  [/quote]
