<p>mom483 – My D seems to be a lot like your S. As a comp sci major, she loves programming. Her college friends are very serious students. A typical weekend may include hanging out with a group of friends, watching movies or TV shows, going to a concert, or studying. She must maintain at least a 3.5 GPA for her merit scholarship. She got off to a good start with a 4.0 her first semester.</p>
<p>I spent too much time partying in college. Back in the 70’s, the legal drinking age was 18. It seemed like beer was everywhere on campus. The beer truck would pull up in front of the dorm and we could get it for 35 cents a cup. Now, I think that students are drinking a lot more hard liquor instead of beer. If I had it to do over again, I would have partied less and studied more. I don’t want to see my D get caught up in the whole party scene. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders and is much more mature than I was at her age.</p>
