I need a far away I need a far away college, not so far away that i cant go home for a weekend if needed but far enough away that i get independence and control of my life. I need a far away college, far enough that my family cant rely on me for everything. I need a far away college, far enough that if they forget me it wont hurt so much. Im far away, why would they thinking about me all the time? Out of sight out of mind, is it supposed to work like that with your own children? They forget me a lot. If im far away i wont notice as easily. Maybe ill forget about them... I wont, i care too much. At least now they cant forget to pick me up or tell me its time for dinner. I need a far away college, so my dad cant focus on my grades as easily, hounding on me for getting an 83. "Did you double check??" I finally did this time "Did you triple check?" No I didn't, but i shouldve know this was coming. "Well why not?? You should be triple checking from now on." I wasnt enough. I never was. My sister gets her report card back. 70s, 60s, 50s. I think about how mad my dad will be, i feel bad. She calls and tells him, "good job kiddo." Good job? Her 60s are better than my 80s. Of course they are, nothing i do is never enough for them. , not so far away that i cant go home for a weekend if needed but far enough away that i get independence and control of my life.
