make sure you have that box of tissues handy…

from a guest column in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer:

“Parents, if you’re wondering why you’ve been kept out of this “unofficial college process,” it’s because we wanted it that way. If you were to start getting all sappy about saying good-bye, then we might, too, and then where would our hard exteriors go? Few of us talk about how much we’re going to miss home; we prefer to sound confident instead - by talking about how great things will be once we get to college.”

One deep-felt snag in &#0039;college process&#0039;;
