Going away to college is a very hard, yet exciting experience. Many students are excited to get away from the strict rules at home. Some students swear that they will never come home to visit or call to talk to their parents. I am not one of those people. I call my parents every day. Here are some examples for why you should call your mom or dad more often.
1. You don't know everything.
2. You may need help picking out which medicine to use.
3. Or you might just need to know if mom thinks that you are sick enough to go to the doctor.
4. Your parents can FaceTime or Skype you with your pets.
5. You're not getting along with your roommate(s).
6. The more you call, the more likely they are to send gifts or extra money.
7. You need your mom's honesty with your outfit.
8. Sometimes you just need to hear a comforting voice to help get you through the day.
9. You have a funny story and you just can't wait to tell them.
10. You're just having a bad day (or week).
11. You miss them, and they miss you.
