We just survived our daughter's first year of college. Everything that I imagined could happen happened. Wrong roommates, partying, home sickness, a friend's alcohol poisoning, average grades, and 2AM texts to get her out of there.
This is for the parents out there who don't know what they're getting into, or for you who know and would like to compare war stories. Since I already know that it has a happy ending, I can give you the gory details without worrying you too much.
