<p>I think D picked school that was best fit for her, but she says she doesn’t think anybody is as happy with it as they were at first. Living in close proximity to others with different world views (e.g., roommate parties heavily, she doesn’t), stresses of papers/projects to be completed by the end of the semester, discovering classes can be dull or hard or both seem to be getting to her. She has good friends, good-enough grades, and significant involvement in a major campus activity, but not the best attitude right now and is counting the days until the semester is over. The hardest thing for us this year was that she established her independence in the fall by communicating as little as possible and we really missed knowing what was going on in her life; she’s past that stage now and calls/texts more than once almost every week.</p>
