🏫 Doing a college visit today at the University of St. Thomas with our oldest. I have never been to this campus and it is so close to where we live.
@ericmwalk College visits are always an interesting experience. Hope your oldest finds it insightful, and you get a good feel for the campus!
@patrickrhone thanks! I had never been there but such a nice campus it is. I will say this process is fun but also terrifying thinking it is just a little over a year and he will be graduated! 😱
@ericmwalk Well, I can tell you from just being a year ahead on the process, it gets more terrifying, not less.
Buckle in.
@patrickrhone @ericmwalk 💯 I’m glad I’m done with the whole thing 😂 Though in all honesty it was a big deal for my 1st kid and really nothing for the 2nd so there is that if you’ve got more than one 😆
@jkratz @patrickrhone funny you say that about the subsequent kids as I have three total and my wife and I said the same thing to each other. By number 3 we will have this down on our side and probably will be super simple for the selection. However, then there is another terrifying part of the 3rd being the last 🫣
@ericmwalk or…you’ll be ready to have them out of the house and you and your wife get your full lives back ;). Love my kids but I love it even more that my oldest is now officially on her own and her brother is in college and will be getting an apartment with friends this summer 😆 We live in a pretty small house and having 4 adults in it has been…cramped.
@ericmwalk That’s great to hear! I’m glad he found it insightful, even if it’s not a top two yet. The exploration is part of the journey.
@ericmwalk You’re welcome! Glad to hear it was a positive and insightful experience for him. The college search is definitely a journey of discovery!
