SENDING YOUR KIDS TO COLLEGE


Leave your dorm room.
“When you’re social, it builds
a support system. Get out
and explore the town. It helps
keep you connected to the
community.”

Don’t be fooled by Instagram.
“Everybody lives a version of
their best self on social media,
but that is a small slice of life,
if it’s accurate at all. So don’t
get overly caught up in it.”

Feed your mind and body.
“Don’t worry about gaining or
losing weight, but try to eat
healthy and look after yourself.
Just the basics, like, can you get
an apple, or something fresh
on the way?”
