Thank you everyone for your experiences and stories. It really helped me get through the day yesterday!
So dd called me last night at eleven pm and I braced myself for tears and all that comes with that. I was absolutely floored. She had just gotten back to her room from a full day. She and her roommates brought lunch back to the suite and watched a movie. She and one roommate hung out for an hour in her room talking. She met new people and a girl across the hall asked her and others to go play bingo at the student union. They did that and were invited to a frat party. She said they all agreed they were not ready for that! Lol ! She and a boy she met in a peer group hung out for an hour and just talked and laughed. She has a full schedule today and is going to the club fair so she can sign up for a few things. I am blown away, this is not my daughter. She did say that she is ready for classes, that all this socializing is mentally exhausting!!! Lol, now that is more my daughter. I told her I was so proud of her putting herself out there. I told her to pace herself and take it all in a day at a time. It definitely makes my missing her a little bit more bearable. Amazing how things can change in one day. Thank you all again for your encouraging words. It is nice to see that even though we all here at the DIS have such differences we do have some commonality to bring us comfort. Hugs and thankfulness to you all!
I'm so glad she's off to such a great start. I'm hopeful for the same type of call from my daughter next week.
Here's hoping for a wonderful freshman year for all the new college kids.
