Our son is roughly one month into his freshman year of college, and already he has changed his hometown on Facebook, changed his class schedule, found a girlfriend, taken her to a concert in Cincinnati, attended a frat rush party, gone on a bus trip to Cedar Point, and who knows what else. We can only assume that some actual schoolwork is also part of his busy world.
The time is right to share with him and the world my sister's Three Rules, which she gave to each of her sons as they departed for college. Buster Junior, please read and heed:
1. Go to class, study, and do the work to the best of your ability. This is Rule #1, Job #1, Priority #1. . . . followed closely by . . .
2. Don't come home with a disease.
3. Don't make us grandparents! (At least not for a good, long while.)
Follow these rules, Boy-o. Your aunt is wise.
