The Northeastern Meet Up Planning Thread

[Rye]

Because even though I'll be back in NY, my parents wouldn't be thrilled if I was like "BRB FOR THE WEEKEND NYC." xD

At that point in your life that shouldn't be so much of a concern as how much you want to do it. You're a grown-up in college. Sometimes grown-ups do things their parents don't agree with but it's okay.

I know what you mean, tuh, but that really doesn't work with my parents. "Wouldn't be thrilled" was a gross understatement on my part. My parents are not like most parents, who understand that 18 year olds in college need to make their own decisions. It's a shame, because I try to compromise and live up to my age, but they don't compromise back. It's not so much that my parents would not agree and get upset, it's more that, without hyperbole or exaggeration, they would throw a gigantic hissy fit and would literally stand in front of my car to block me drive there, or hide my keys from me, or something immature. My parents are overbearing beyond belief, so I do everything in secret because I give up trying to compromise to no avail. ;o

I think I act as grown up as I can, concerning the situation. xD
