<p>By the time college comes, I know very few students who still pull the high school wah-my-parents-can’t-know-what-I’m-doing thing. Unless they have very controlling parents.</p>
<p>My dad and I text a few times a week. Maybe talk on the phone once or twice. My mom and I can go weeks without talking. None of us are big on small talk and they know they’ll get news right away. As my roommate and SO are friends with my parents, they know that if I’m dead, they’ll find out pretty quick.</p>
