<p>My parents don’t believe in the “once you’re 18 you’re an adult” thing. This is pretty common in Hispanic cultures, since in Latin America everyone commutes to college (no dorms) and traditionally you don’t move out till you get married. I’m moving away for college, but there’s still some restrictions. It’s a bit annoying to not be as independent as I could be, but the support (both financial & emotional) is a blessing. They believe they’re fully responsible for my education, but I know they’re not. They go as far as asking me to not do work study, but it’d be irresponsible/selfish on my part to agree to that.</p>
