Students stay connected with parents

With 6 million college graduates currently unemployed and future job prospects looking bleak, moving back home after graduation isn't considered a safety net anymore, it is nearly a foregone conclusion.
According to recent figures from the Census Bureau, 1 in 3 young adults ages 18 to 34 live with their parents or in-laws, which is leading many students to believe they should not distance themselves too much from home during their college years. For students at the University, this means calling back home every once in a while is a must.
Kyle Bishop, a sophomore from Wichita, calls home once a week, something he said is necessary for everyone, especially those who may feel the need to move back home.
"I definitely think people should keep a close tie with their family," Bishop said. "It's important to keep in touch in case things go wrong, you want to have that safety net. You want to be there for them and they want to be there for you."
With the ability to stay in touch through multiple different platforms, like email, text message and Facebook, young adults and their parents are finding it much easier to stay in constant contact as well, which could benefit their relationship. A study from Brigham Young

University revealed that those who connected with their parents through Facebook were more likely to have positive social behavior than those who didn't.
But for Bishop, avoiding Facebook and sticking to one simple phone call a week is enough.
"I try to stay away from involvement with social media and my family," Bishop said. "Texting I try to keep to a minimum too. It's mainly just a phone call to keep it concise. I think it's better that way."
Carlie Hall, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., said she felt this way in her first year at the University, but the frequency she's called and visited home has decreased significantly as her time in Lawrence has increased.
"My freshman year I would always call my mom on the weekends; I missed her a lot," Hall said. "I went home every other weekend too, but now I may go once a month or less. I just have a lot more to do now. I'm more comfortable on my own and Lawrence is
A recent study from the University of Maryland asked college students to go 24 hours without cell phones and social media, and the results showed that students had a difficult time not speaking with their parents. About 20 percent of the students said they felt most disconnected from their mothers.

be a scary concept, and may make you want to give your mom and dad a visit a little more frequently.
"I found out calling home ends up becoming a luxury, you can just live your life." Guerrero said. "I firmly believe the first year being away from home is the hardest, but it makes the meetings that much more meaningful."
Ramon Guerrero, a second-year student from Topeka, has a slightly different perspective when it comes to contacting his parents. Guerrero spent five years in the military after high school before coming to the University, and he said his years spent abroad without the ability to speak with loved ones forced him to view
