Sending a Child to College
Sending Your Child to College — It's an Emotional Ride
Congratulations! After years of tests, applications, and some serious stress, your child is headed off to college. They are about to embark on four years of academic and personal growth that will prepare them for the adult world (or at least that's what we tell them). But before you start preparing your child for the next chapter in their lives, you need to prepare yourself for an emotional ride. Sending your child to school, while exciting, can also be pretty scary. Here, every emotion to expect when your child leaves for college.

You're so proud of your child for getting into college.
You celebrate with a grad party and Summer full of fun.
But then August rolls around, and you realize you haven't bought a thing for their dorm.

So you go on a stress-induced shopping spree for the essentials.
And probably buy way more than they need.
Meanwhile, they're at home relaxing.

You get annoyed and remind yourself that soon they will be an RA's problem.
But as the days dwindle away, you realize you'll miss your baby.
So you relax and cherish every moment together.
Until move-in day arrives and all hell breaks loose.
Nothing fits in the car.
