Parents Of College Students...Be Afraid

By Janet Evans
Wednesday, Jun 25 2008, 05:37 PM







I happened to come across this blog regarding 12 Beers You Should Only Drink In College and noticed that there are three or four Milwaukee beers on the list.

“Everyone loves college.  You live in a building full of your friends and the opposite sex sans parents for months, with a veritable smorgasbord of food, parties and alcohol to distract you from worthless schoolwork.  But the sacrifice is that you’re broke.  Still, you have to get drunk.  What do you buy?  Here’s a list of beers that encourage you to do your homework so you can afford the good stuff after graduation.  But for now, you drink these purely out of circumstance.”

That’s what the “
Campus Squeeze” says……

It’s a scary place, parents….be afraid…be very afraid….


It was just easier before their were blogs and websites...it was easier when you asked your college student how things were going and the just said, "Fine, can I have some money?"



 

Love and Marriage

My twenty-something son dated and married his lovely high school sweetheart.

My thirty-something daughter didn’t.  She dated in high school and dated in college, too.  She had a relationship after college.  Life was busy, work was hectic.  And Mr. Right was nowhere to be found.  At least, not in plain sight. 

When she told me some of her friends had tried internet dating and she was considering it, I wasn’t happy about it.  Too dangerous, I thought....and I still do.  But she, just as at least one of her friends that I’m aware of, met her husband during the process.

So, why is it so difficult to meet that “someone special” if you don’t meet them in school or in the workplace?

If you're single would you, or have you used an online dating service?

If you're a parent, would you be worried if one of your children used one?

I'm still not crazy about the fact that my daughter used one, but I'm crazy about my son-in-law.  Funny thing is, it ends up that he didn't live too far away from my daughter, and some friends in her work circle new him, and never thought of introducing them to each other.  Go figure.
