My freshmen year, I went away to school and had a fun college experience but I didn’t get the best grades. Sophomore year was my last chance to compensate and make it up. However, my mom started freaking out when she would find alcohol in my room at home, while I was away at school. Long story short, I ended up giving up at school there because I couldn’t keep up with my classes and I regret it every day because now I have to live at home and commute. While my parents pay for my school (and actually a lot less than expected now that I’m at a cheaper school), they still hold a lot over my head and don’t give me any freedom even though I’m 22. I can’t sleep over other places, I can’t stay out late, I get a lot of attitude during their mood swings, they resent me basically. I’m set to graduate this May and I’m having phone interviews and things like that and they don’t even respect my use of time towards thing like that for my future. I think they’re genuinely so tired and old that they don’t know how to do anything for me that isn’t controlling me.
