Parents Weekend at GW is upon us, a time of monument tours, booked brunches at Founding Farmers, and (if you were lucky enough to snag tickets), a performance by the deity known to GW students as Jon Stewart.
If you’re a freshman, it’s probably the first time you’ll see your parents since they dropped you off. The reunion may look like this…
For seniors, hugging your parents is like seeing old friends:
Parents of freshmen: ‘Let’s do all the scheduled activities!’
Parents of seniors: when you try to tell them about the scheduled activities…
Parents of freshmen may forget your newly-developed independence…
Parents of seniors (hopefully) realize there’s more of a balance…
…Hopefully.
So even though we may sometimes think like this…
…we really do love them:
Happy Parents’ Weekend!
