So it was the last day of school. I had just given my presentation for industrial design and met my parents outside of the building, and we went back to the dorm to start packing up. It was great to see them after 5 months, but when we were in my room getting everything together, they were really stressing me out—telling me to hurry up, pack this first, no! do this now, I thought you said you were packed already?!
Having been on my own for 9 months and doing things my way without unsolicited outside input, this was not a good sign. I knew what people said about going back home the first summer after college and readjusting to being under parent rule, but I just didn't think these would apply to me so strongly.
So wrong was I.
I leave you with a final question:
What is the world coming to when a girl is struggling to spackle her dorm walls and the men lounge on beds nearby and tell her to hurry up?
