Even the most independent freshmen in college get homesick. Adjusting to a new place with new people and new academic expectations…that’s a whole lot for anyone to take in! But sometimes, as college students, we forget that our parents miss us too. Here are 15 signs your parents aren’t quite ready for you to leave home!
1. They hug you too long.
Even if you squirm, you know that can’t stop them.
2. They tell you to clean your room…but do it for you anyway.
