I cannot believe The Boy is on his way to college, since as I read your list, I feel as though I just left. Oh, and a note to The Boy: Don't wear a raincoat. You'll look like a dork. Take an umbrella. As tall as you are, you could provide shelter for many a young lass that is caught in the rain without hers. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) As usual, MJ, you made me laugh and get a little weepy. I cannot believe The Boy is on his way to college, since as I read your list, I feel as though I just left.

I lived at home during college, so didn't experience dorm life, but I've done it vicariously through Son #1 and Son #2. Here was my motherly advice to them: 1. Now is the time to be creative with your hair. Grow, cut, or color it however you want. 2. If you have to pierce something, make it your ear. 3. If you have to get a tatoo, get it where it won't show under business clothes. As far as I know, they haven't done any of the three. Son #3, although currently not in school, is doing the hair thing, but I keep telling myself it's not permanent. I’m LOVING your daily notes to The Boy.
