I know this is a little off subject but this is also why I think it's important to live in a dorm in college instead of at home if it can be managed. I had to learn my down to the laundry room, manage studying vs social life, get along with some one I had never met, manage problems without my parents intervening. Of course this was back in the late 60's and it was female dorm only. Now dorms are coed, apartments are coed. Nothing is the same. I also think I learned differently than my fellow students that their parents payed for everything. I had to earn my way through school and it meant something different to me.
