My oldest left last weekend for college about 4 hours away. Needless to say, he doesn't know a thing about the real world and I've been fretting a bit. He's been so focused on baseball during HS that he didn't have much of a social life.
He moved in his dorm 5 days before the rest of the freshman arrive, so I thought he'd be lonely in the almost empty hall. Or, that he'd hook up with more adventurous boys and hit his first bar.
Well, he did stay out late last night, but it wasn't exactly what I expected! One of the baseball players knows a girl who's rushing and they drove over to sorority row to check things out. They ended up driving a car full of girls with no transportation to Walmart for a shopping trip! Said they were in line at 11:45pm on a Wed. night and every register was ten deep. So that's where they're hanging out in college these days! Seems a clever (and cheap) way to "pick up chicks!"
