I find it highly irritating when people try to step in where it's not necessary. I have taken care of myself for a very, very long time. That doesn't mean I was completely alone or abandoned or anything along those lines, but I have always pursued life and goals by MY rules. Not my rules meaning it's my way or the highway, but I have always gone about things by what I know is right and what is wrong. I really, really, don't need someone to tell me how to live. I understand it was out of concern and a caring nature, but I think I'm more than qualified to know what's good for me and what's not good for me. If I want to come home on weekends and spend time with my family, I'll do it. I don't need to "let go of my family ties". Nobody is holding me back. Nor will I allow myself to fail. I know college SHOULD be about the experience, and SHOULD be about meeting new people, but I think I've been pretty successful at both. I have quite a few friends up here. To be honest, I don't care what it SHOULD be about. What's right by one person, may not be right by another. I don't want any of this to be misconstrued because believe me, I love WWU, but I also love my home and I don't think it's wrong for me to go home as frequently as I do. A lot of people go to college to get away from their families and to get away from what they have at home, but i loved what I had there and I love what I have here. My family has always been and always will be the biggest part of my life (yes Muffy, you're part of that too), so I'm sorry I disagree with you when you tell me I "need to let go of them". I'm here 5 out of the 7 days during the week, two days during the weekend is more than reasonable.

On a brighter and ironic note...I was sitting in the main lounge while writing this and made a new friend :) I am quite capable of doing good things for myself.

....now breath
