Parents being HUGE PAINS IN THE...
Okay, now I remember why I felt so happy when I first left the house and went away to school...
...they are always on my back about money and working (last year i didn't get a job up there... i guess i was too busy keeping my GPA up around 3.6... my bad). I work 35-hour weeks and they think I should get a second job! They are afraid, based on last year, that I will not be able to get a job when I get back up to Boston and I will not be able to afford my apartment up there.
They said if I bring my car up there this fall, or if I get the clutch installed that my car BADLY NEEDS, they will not pay my tuition this year. I guess I am left with no choice.
I am so glad I am not coming back to Connecticut next summer. I think I am on my own for good once this year starts. Any of you old-timers on this board have any issues like this when you were 20?
