Right now all the incoming freshman are coming for orientation and registration. Some (about half) are here w/ at least one parent. It annoys the piss out of me. College is a time of "breaking free" or at least gaining some semblance of personal independence. If these parents don't trust their kids to make wise decisions, or if they don't trust the university to advise their kids, then maybe they oughta just consider keeping them home at some 2 year school. Even though I'm not a tour guide I've been asked (and I've heard) some stupid questions and comments. I hate when parents who even went to one week of ( any) college walk around campus like they know f*cking everything. I'm so thankful my parents didn't insist on coming to my orientation. Somehow I've done just fine
