Here are some random thoughts to wrap up the week! The theme this week for the blog has been “What if we were having this much fun?” In no particular order this is what I’m thinking right now.
- I should have given some thought to that theme this week. Seriously, sending your child off to college is not particularly fun and as much as I want to “drum” up some enthusiasm, it’s simply not happening folks. Ever been there?
- Okay, having said that, the overall move couldn’t have been easier. Lots of young men eager to help and Tucker even let me make his bed (my mom heart liked that a lot) I love it when a community comes together and that is what happened.
- On that note, there were a host of other anxious parents, and some dedicated university staff that are committed to ensuring the success of our students. I want to point that out. What a tremendous blessing it is that we have educators that have literally put their entire life on task for this purpose. THANK GOD FOR THESE BRAVE SOULS! We are all in this together is the bottom line….
- FINALLY, HE WILL DEFINITELY EXPERIENCE THIS WEEK’S THEME… OVER AND OVER AGAIN … COLLEGE is made for FUN! For today, remember those moments when you were young, and try to REINVENT them this week. My favorite was the annual Lamda Chi WATERMELON FEST… Wonder if there is an “adult” version of that I could drum up?
HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK EVERYONE! For those sending their kids off to school, take a DEEP BREATH and WALK RIGHT INTO IT! MAKE A DECISION TO RELISH IN THE JOY OF THIS NEW STAGE, be it Kindergarten, Middle School, Senior Year or the one and only first day of COLLEGE!
