Reply to "The challenges of college"

This year I have a junior baseball player (small D3), and a freshman musician (large DI). Have their freshman years really been as different as it seems to me, or have I just adjusted and stopped worrying?

Both seem pretty self-sufficient to me this year, but I guess I do worry about the junior's academics a little - upper division classes can be very challenging! I can hardly believe though, the extent to which I can now embrace the "sink or swim" view of their "growing up" - either they will figure out how to handle all the challenges, or they will learn a good lesson from their occasional failures. Seriously, I think I have learned as much as they have in the past two years!
