From 2,500 Miles Away.
For most, going off to college is the first step (of many) in breaking the umbilical chord that binds the world-as-we-know-it-until-the-rents-drive-away, and inevitably proves to be a necessary and healthy step in the lives of all participants. Easy it is not but the consequential confidence, empathy, and individuality that unfolds is worth the pangs and heartache of the lonelier moments in between. And besides, the comfort, support, not-so-gentle-reminders to callyourgrandmother/changeyoursheets/meetaniceboyorgirl hardly dissipate even as the steps that follow ensue. So as broken as the chord gets, it inevitably maintains a grip comparable to crazy glue when you accidentally bind your thumb and forefinger during art class. Enjoy!
