Orientation was a fun day for me. Not so much for my parents, though, who thought of it as a major life-changing moment. It's just a day where you get yourself organized for a bigger change to come. Have fun, relax, and let the people in charge walk you through it.I don't know how many people you might see on campus. Spring semester ended a few weeks ago and the summer crowd will be out there, but it's not nearly as crowded.

I was the youngest of six children. When my oldest sibling went to college, there were tears from my mother. The day I went to college was one of the happiest days of my parents life and it wasn't because they were so proud of me or even remotely upset I was leaving the nest . The car only slowed a little as they ("they" meaning my sister and my mother....Dad didn't even make the trip.....still makes me laugh today) threw me and my clothes out the door in the dorm parking lot.
