In college we like to think we are self-sufficient. Legal adults, old enough to make our own, usually stupid decisions and occasionally smart enough to clean up our own messes, we pride ourselves on our sheer ability to have it together like 80 percent of the time. But, that 20 percent of the time (which seems more like 50 percent) we all fall into the trap of texting our mom to save us.
