<p>I need some advice in trying to explain to my dad that, when we visited a certain college campus, I came with a closed mind against it that opened during my interview, but the reason for my initially closed mind was that I did not want to follow a guy to college. I am in love with the school, totally independent of "the guy" but I don't know how to tell my dad that I didn't want to like the school because I didn't want to be an obsessed teenager.</p>
<p>can you spell "talk about it"???</p>
<p>No, seriously, I really thought this was going to get resolved without discourse of any kind. My issue is figuring out how to talk to my dad about it.</p>
<p>Just do it...........swoosh.</p>
<p>That was nice. ^</p>
<p>Anyone else have some suggestions? Without referencing a corporation, preferably.</p>
<p>Get your ideas down to three basic points........get some courage and have at it............no corporate logo on this one.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Gain some confidence and be truthful.........</p>
<p>I'm confused- there's a guy at that school that you have bad history? Nooooo idea what's going on haha</p>
<p>crimson- No bad history. Rather good history, I'd say, but I don't want my dad to think that I am following a guy to college, nor did I when I visited the college, so I intentionally went on the tour with the idea in mind that I wouldn't like it...I know it probably doesn't make much sense. Anyhow, I ended up loving the college when my interviewer asked me some questions that made me drop my shield and also after learning more about the school.</p>
<p>Uh...I just realized I forgot to mention at all why this is an issue with my father. He hates the school and insists that I had a very bad reaction to it and therefore should not notify the National Merit corporation that said school is my first choice. No matter what I try to say to convince him of why I like the school, he remains stuck on my "first impression"-which he does not know was completely biased.</p>
<p>Ohhh, I get it now. Hm. You could tell him that you'll probably never even see "the guy" there because college is so big. And it's also 4 years of your life, you might as well be happy. If he doesn't understand just start crying :)</p>
