Okay! I am a current college freshman in Stony Brook University! As you guys all know, us, college students, usually go home every once in a while...
So, I went back to my good 'ole home and confront my nagging parents (no offense to them)! The first thing that happens when I first meet my parents or any Aunties and Uncles that I meet is that I get bombarded with questions!
It so happens that all the questions have the same meaning, "What do I do in College?"
So, I did my best to answer that question...
This is for all you parents out there that have college students! Most college students will be doing the same, not all, this is just what I do =D!
What I do in college...
I usually sleep really late because of work and fun then wake up accordingly to my class schedule. Most of the time during the midterm and final weeks, it becomes more and more stressful...
Parents, this is a tip, don't worry so much about us.
I am a single child and my family is Chinese. I have to deal with a lot of concern from my parents. I know that my parents care about me, but, I believe that they are over reacting. My parents constantly call me everyday about me and college. Even when I get back home, they only talk about my academics, nothing else!
Okay, Story Time!
I tried to tell my parents many times to "please stop talking about my academic life"...but to no success...I then say that they are annoying...and my parents say, "We are not annoying!"
Then, my reaction was..."How can you not be annoying?"
At that moment, I was laughing on the inside! How can you not be annoying from your own perspective?
Parents, when your child tries to tells you to stop something or tells you that you are getting annoying...please just listen...
From my personal experience, especially during midterm weeks and finals weeks, most of the things parents say usually add on the the current stress! It is basically adding gas to a open flame....
Moral of story: don't worry about your child too much! We can take care of ourselves, we are old enough....
Okay, back to what I do.....
When there are no finals or midterms, I am usually stuck with a never ending stack of work to do...I finish one assignment another gets posted up directly after...
For fun, I usually play pool, ping-pong, tennis, use my pc, watch TV, and go shopping with my friends! I have to say, even with all the stress and work in college, college is pretty fun and interesting! I love college so far...I do many things in college...I have to say, I love the food in college =D!
