One of my sons has been an undergrad for 8 - count them, 8 - years! Either he just loves being a professional student, or he can't make up his mind what he wants to major in. Well, actually, it's the latter, but he is finally going to graduate sometime this year. My daughter just finished up one degree and is about to embark on the next. Both are in honors; my daughter was just confirmed magna cum laude.
The other transition is the college graduation. As parents, we look forward to the day, even wonder if it will ever arrive, LOL! Once it does, you get such a strange feeling that's not quite like closure. It's a mixture of relief, excitement, pride and trepidation. Very weird.
You can only imagine what it's like for a kid who has spent the last 8 years trying to figure out what he wants to major in, especially when he excels in everything he attempts. Gee, I wish I had that problem, LOL!
