What a nightmare downtown Durham is on moving day. We finally made it over to her dorm area and lots of helpful 'moving crew' students were on hand to unload cars and carry things up to the rooms. Oldest Daughter and her friend were overwhelmed with their kindness and mostly wanted to see that back ends of our cars as we drove away. This is good.
My biggest concern is that she won't throw herself into dorm and college life because she's trying to hang on to being with her boyfriend. He has a full-time job so I'm hoping that they'll learn to be responsible and save their romancing for the weekends. We'll see.
OD has already called and said that the mattress isn't comfortable so she might come home and get hers. LOL What a princess.

Ah, yes...one of the great tests of life....letting go of the boyfriend and getting into college.
I spent the first 6 months of college feeling miserable and planning how to leave. And then, my BF and I broke up and I finally got into the college experience. It was worth it, though it was painful at the time.
