<p>Your college experience will be what you make it. If you have the right attitude, you will have a very positive & wonderful experience. I agree that your mother might have trouble separating from you … or finances might really be behind the situation … or “whatever.” Heck, maybe you are immature to some degree … that would be normal!! I know my very intelligent daughter is immature … and that is simply an observation of her current state, not a put-down. She will learn and grow as she faces the challenges of college, just as you will. </p>
<p>I do understand your disappointment, but I also agree with mythmom about Providence. My advice is to get excited about the wonderful new experiences that are soon to come your way. Why not join a Facebook group for your school? You can meet some people & begin to look forward to living on a college campus.</p>
<p>Remember that your mom loves you, and be kind to her … but make sure you carve out a positive experience for yourself at your school. Bloom where you are planted … heck, I blossomed at a tiny school located in the armpit of America, less than an hour from my home. It’s all in your approach …</p>
