4. You can’t see your friends whenever you want.
Most of our friends at home have summer jobs, internships, and family vacations planned in advance, so it’s hard to find a time where everyone can get together, and not everyone is free at exactly the second you want them to be. I’m definitely looking forward to being able to text my friends about five seconds before I want to go out and them being prepared right then and there. Planning is such a hassle.
3. You have to tell everyone where you’re going and what you’re doing.
At college, you really don’t have anyone to report to, except for that weekly call that you make to your mother, because you promised her. You can come and go as you please without letting anyone know where you’ll be going and what you’ll be doing there. Again, I know it’s a parent’s responsibility to know where you are at all times, but if I want to go and get myself an ice cream cone for the fourth time this week, do I really have to tell you?
