College is a time when it’s socially acceptable to be a little bit ~crazy~. We’ve sanctioned it as a time in a young adult’s life when you’re expected to party too much and make some regrettable decisions. Whether you like it or not, this is how a lot of people treat college in the popular …

18-year-old gets ostracized by her 4 college roommates because she only calls her mom once a week: ‘She’s the only girl I’ve ever met who doesn’t talk daily to her mom.’
It’s way weirder to call your mom multiple times a day every day when you’re in college. For many college students, the newfound independence they get from attending university is a welcome change.

17-year-old asks her late father’s childhood friend to fund her college education despite not talking to him for 7 years: ‘I’m currently putting 3 of my kids through college right now, 2 of them in medical school’
He gave her a firm no, but she didn’t push the matter. There’s a lot of social stigma around asking people for money, and for good reasons. Nobody is entitled to anyone else’s money, even if that person would gladly and freely give their money away. It can come off as entitled to ask your …

Stepmom and dad refuse to let 19-year-old college student come home for Thanksgiving, says she has to find her own place to live during summer vacation: ‘Nobody told me I was completely on my own now’
She shouldn’t have to live independently during the holiday season. I’m not on board with parents who kick their kids out of their house the moment they turn 18. I understand parents kicking out a 25-year-old who has spent their entire adult life as a NEET (Not in education, employment, or training), but 18-year-olds are …

19-year-old college student refuses to babysit her 35-year-old sister’s 2 toddlers for 40 hours a week for no pay: ‘She said I was being selfish for choosing a stupid minimum wage job over my nieces’
Nobody is entitled to free childcare, even if they have a teenage sibling who is home for the summer. Childcare always comes at a cost. If both parents are working and need to pay for daycare for a couple of years, it will cost them thousands of dollars. If one parent stays at home and …

18-year-old college student insists that her roommate move out of their dorm because her boyfriend doesn’t like her: ‘She said I’m ruining her relationship’
One of the greatest joys of having a roommate is dealing with their boyfriend or girlfriend. It’s bad enough that you have to live with someone who is functionally a stranger; it’s even worse when they bring around another stranger at all hours of the day.

Mom of an incoming University of Arkansas freshman asks fellow parents how to help her daughter remember her key to her dorm: ‘Remembering to take a key everywhere she goes is going to be a lot.’
When my sister and I were in college, my mom participated in her fair share of «Parents of the Class of 20XX» Facebook groups. While I went to a regular, degular state school, my kid sister’s school was much more full of rich kids and their parents who thought they could throw money at all …
