Parents and College

So I was talking to my mother and she doesn't think I am "ready to go away". So this is how I feel about this quote that I know most parents say to the seniors.

Children need to explore on their own to know how to deal with things. For example to me a female should at least go through having 1 boyfriend before college because if they go through a serious break up you never know how they will react in college so its better to go through it in college. Now that kind of goes with not being ready to go away but it doesn't a bit (sorry if this is starting to get confusing). As becoming almost an adult we need to experience things on our own and learn from our own mistakes so we can have a strong mindset of getting through life. If parents baby us all the way through then we will be lost as an adult not really knowing what to do. Going away to college will teach us first of all how to budget because we all know our parents not giving us money 24/7 so we need to manage our spending.  Also we all need to learn how to manage our time and college will definitely teach us that lesson. Parents we don't need you breathing down our necks like we need to breathe. We need to be set free and be able to go on our own .  I'm not going to type everything we will learn but one main thing would be living on our own and dealing with people. We will be picking things for our dorm and living with a complete stranger. This will teach us about socializing with people and keeping ourselves clean (room and body if your dirty).

I don't want to keep talking on and on but I am always having this same conversation with adults about this. Yea sometimes we cant afford to go away but try to win scholarships. And if you have to live at home like if that's the last option then make the best of it. We as young adults deserve some freedom and I believe going away to college is a big start with that.

P.S My bad if I went hard!
