Your sadness is a reflection of how well your parents did their job raising you. They will always be there, waiting for your return, cheering you on from afar. one car ride, one flight, one phone call away. You got this, girl.

Girl..I promise they want you stay little too. Growing up is hard, letting go is harder.

My daughter cried the night before, the morning of, the ride there and when we left… broke my heart. She’s a senior now- applying to med schools- with a thriving group of friendships and so many memories

my daughter did that... she decided she didn't want to go anymore. I told her if by Christmas she still wanted to come home she could quit then. she had so much fun and ended up going 5 years. change is hard but give it a try. you may surprise yourself

You’ll always be their little girl. The fact that you feel this way tells me they did a great job and you can always go home to them. Go be great knowing they have your back. 🥰

I cried my eye out the night before college. I did not want to go. It was a an amazing 4 years. You can always go home. Give it a chance.

As a mama, we love you a little extra for this, but we didn’t raise you to be strong and independent to live with us. You made it into college- YOU did that- now go learn to be the person you’re going to be. Spread your wings, learn new things, fall in love, make mistakes, your parents will always be behind you.

Oh hun. It is ok to be scared and sad. These big life changes are hard. If you don't go through with it though you will regret it. Cry all the way there if you want. Cry the whole first week if you need to. But you owe it to yourself to go and genuinely TRY.

I’m a 30-something married mother of two and I am still my parents’ little girl. Go hug them, and then go to college. You’ve got this (and they’ve got you)!

Feelings are valid. But don't let them dictate your actions.

College is for some and not for others. Give it a bit but always remember if you’re not ready it’s ok! I wish to this day I stayed home the first 2 yrs. Good luck you may end up loving it!!

You'll be in a new groove before you know it. Make sure you tell them you love them. They're going through changes as well.

You go to them with tears in your eyes and say just that. They should love on you and let you know how brave you are to take this next step. They’ll be home waiting for your visit. It’s scary but you can do hard things!

The best is when my daughter comes home for breaks and naps in my bed because it smells like me. Maybe I didn't do everything wrong after all
