note.
Dorm-life is supposed to be a taste of freedom. Leaving parents — and their rules — behind usually means setting your own curfew, deciding for yourself who can sleep over and running your own life. But for me, dorm-life meant more rules, not fewer.
Becka Cremer, co-editor
I entered GSP in 2004, and left before 2005. Living in an all-girl's dorm was too much of a shock after my mom's relaxed parenting techniques. During high school, my mom let me make my own decisions about what was right and wrong; I was rarely told when to be home at night, and I could choose who to have in my room and when to have them there.
After reading Laura Evers' article about getting along with your parents after experiencing freedom (page 10), I realize that I should have sat down with my resident advisor and had a talk about boundaries. Maybe then I could have had a guy stay in my room on a Tuesday night.
