<p>Taking the advice of several I once again tried to talk to my Mom. She, as usual, asked me why I didn’t just want to live at home with them. I told her that I do not want to miss out on the “college experience” and learning to be independent. I quoted her some stats I’ve found before while I researched the importance of living at college. </p>
<p>The only thing that happened is she started screaming at me (as usual) and telling me that I just want to live far away so I can party and hook up with as many people as possible. I told her that since I don’t lead that kind of lifestyle right now I would probably not change especially since I like myself the way I am. </p>
<p>It all concluded with my Mom screaming a couple of more unmentionable words and telling me that she forbid me from living anywhere but with her. </p>
<p>Mission failed.</p>
