I’ve heard this. My advisors want me to stay in a dorm. I see where they’re coming from, but I’m good. I’m close with my family, especially my siblings. I have a girlfriend, I hang out with friends a lot, I visit those who have gone on to college in other towns fairly often, I hang out with my coworkers. I also get along well with teachers. I think I’m good socially. And I’m in the honors program, NASA (Native American Student Association), and going to be in intermural soccer, so for me personally, I think I’m going to be fine socially. And as far as a small bubble in my hometown, I’m pretty used to “different” types of people. My family is very diverse, racially, religiously, politically, financially, etc. I used to live in Germany, and have gone on trips with friends to several big U.S. cities in the past couple years. I think I’ll be fine living at home for another few years, and doubt I’ll be missing out on a ton.
Yeah, these people will have to leave. For sure.
Where did you grow up? I’m just curious - in S.D., 30 min. drive is like nothing. I’m not saying it’s not a hassle/expense - I sure wouldn’t wanna do it, but a lot of people around here live in the middle of nowhere and view a 30-60 minute drive to get to anywhere - high school, work, college, church, etc. just as a mandatory part of life.
No! Not ALL!!! Just some dude. I got kicked out at 14 for a few months, and again when I was 17 for a year, after being expelled from high school my junior year. Rough time. Made amends and came back home. Am paying rent now, buying my own food, and on great terms with both of my parents (although not living with my dad).
Sorry, but I don’t quite understand what you’re saying here. Probably just being dumb but could you clarify?
