college food sucks

First of all I am a very picky eater, and I don't like much food. When I first arrived at Albright, I thought for sure I would gain the freshman fifteen. As I walked in the cafeteria and saw the food choices, I knew that I wasn't. The first weekend all I had was a salad, and I was sick of them. I miss real food. I don't really miss homecooked meals because, my mom does not cook that often. I just miss eating what I want and when I want. I would rather eat in my room than the cafeteria.

independence

Everyone needs a little freedom in their life. I feel like since I've left for school I have gained a little bit more, but not entirely. I've only been here for one weekend without seeing my family. I've either gone home or my family has come up here to visit. I need more independence from them, or I am never going to be able to live on my own. I feel like I have fully engaged the college experience, because of that. People need to learn to live on their own without the constant support and help from their parents.
