You know how everyone says nothing in life is what you expected it to be before you got into it?? Well I finally understood that because All my life I thought once I got out of High School and started doing my own thing my mom would get off my back, but it seems like she's nagging me a whole lot more, she's started driving me crazy.



It's alsways about college this and college that, I think in the back of her mind she regrets not really pushing me to attend Howard, but oh well. Anyways I'm thankful that she is tryin to stay up on what's going down at WSSU because they have screwed up some of my paper work. Anyways I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same way that, after graduation you would feel more freedom, but with that no one ever told you that the responibility would come back ten- fold???

I feel the same way you feel. It's like since graduating from high school my mom has been enforcing and re-enforcing stuff to the 10th power. I'm just gonna ride her wave until July when Orientation comes and August when its time to depart for school.
