<p>I went home for a few days and it's just been miserable. I'm never going back again unless I have to.</p>
<p>I will probably only go home for thanksgiving and winter breaks. Never on the weekends… eww. Try to get summer internships somewhere far from home so you have a good excuse not to come home.</p>
<p>I give a brief visit during the breaks, but otherwise, I’m staying on campus.</p>
<p>In short: I visit my parents as often as they visit theirs.</p>
<p>So no one enjoys the company of their parents?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol, this is one of the best quotes i’ve ever heard.</p>
<p>I rarely go home on the weekend. i don’t live terribly far ~16miles from school, but with epic LA traffic, those 16 miles can take up to an hour, in a CAR. don’t even get me started with how long it takes to get there on the bus.</p>
<p>you go home, and while you might enjoy a nice, home cooked meal, it isn’t worth getting yelled at and nagged for a bunch of stuff imo.</p>
<p>When I get sick of showering with flip flops on, people screaming in the middle of the night waking me up from a dead sleep and gray food with no taste.</p>
<p>I go home every weekends. I find that it keeps me grounded.</p>
<p>Shouldn’t the parents be treating you all more nicely since you’re no longer living with them?!</p>
<p>Yeah I live about an hour away, but only really go home over breaks. And then I go back to Berkeley for most of the summer.</p>
<p>My parents visit about once a month too and we just go to dinner somewhere nice in Berkeley or go shopping in Emeryville or SF. And they are actually a lot nicer to me now that I don’t live at home haha, I don’t think my relationship with my parents has ever been better.</p>
<p>lol Okay, I thought I was the only one. See, at Berkeley, you’re never the ONLY ONE. You just have to find people out there and then you realize you’re not alone. </p>
<p>I thought it was just my mom who keeps nagging and wanting me to do dishes or clean the house when I’m on VACATION. That’s pretty much the only time she spends with me. It almost seems like they care less now. It’s kind of like “you’ve been away for a YEAR. Things have changed.” lol even though they’re all the same in their ways and I guess I’ve changed.</p>
<p>Yeah, it does keep you a little grounded but I think once I get my own place, I’ll still be grounded. </p>
<p>I just asked because a lot of my friends do things with their parents. Like my friend is going on vacation with her mom and it just seems like people get along so well. My friend back home has her dad’s support and that took her a long way. She’s been so successful with the help of her parents. Excuse me for bringing this up but celebrities have parents that are always by their sides too and I have to admit, I’m a little jealous.</p>
<p>I can go home for about 2 weeks max before I just want to get away. More so now since I don’t have a car at home anymore. My parents aren’t constant naggers but they just choose the worst times to do it…</p>
<p>I’ve learned to be pretty optimistic after coming to Berkeley and meeting everyone else. Is anyone else’s parents ALWAYS pessimistic? Nevermind, my parents are probably just depressed. lol</p>
