The College Roommate
Too many rites of passage with my son lately, and they are all making me feel old and own a bit of a nervous stomach.
My son turned 18 a couple weeks ago. How did this happen? He was blond and sweet and 6 year old just last year - I'm sure of it. Now he's tall, dark, hairy and still sweet - but I'm still not sure how this happened. With this birthday, now he has to sign a "permission slip" for his mother to obtain information to send to his college concerning medical files. A permission slip for his mother - boy has my life changed.
Last week he recieved word on who his roommate in college will be. Some "wangster" (his word, not mine) from Flushing, NY. So I immediately have my son bring him up on facebook and he has nothing but party pictures on his page. DEEP BREATH. We are talking big red keg cups, funnels, Yegameister - aaarrrgggghhh!!!
My only words to my son - "BE TRUE TO YOURSELF" - what else can a mother say?
