Main Event:
As they unpacked Jane's belongings, her mom pointed at the shared mini-fridge and said, "We should stock this with essentials." Jane's dad, always one for a grand gesture, misunderstood, "Ah, yes, essentials," and promptly filled it with caviar, champagne, and a wedge of brie. The neighboring student, a puzzled physics major named Dave, couldn't believe his luck.
The confusion escalated when Jane's mom mistook the communal bathroom for the exclusive VIP lounge, shushing anyone who entered. Meanwhile, her dad, attempting to be helpful, insisted on giving dorm tours in a fake British accent, unintentionally convincing everyone that Jane was royalty. Soon, the whole floor was swept up in a whirlwind of unintentional opulence.
Conclusion:
The dormitory became a social hotspot, attracting students from all corners for "tea time" and impromptu royalty sightings. Jane's parents unwittingly turned a mundane dormitory into the university's most talked-about residence. And so, Prestige University embraced a new era of regal academia.

Main Event:
Determined to ensure their son, Timmy, thrived, the Thompsons attended every lecture, taking furious notes and even attempting to answer the professor's questions.

Parents of college students, can we talk about the new and improved version of parenting called "College Edition"? It's like we've upgraded from parenting 1.0 to the deluxe, subscription-based, with-all-the-bells-and-whistles package. You used to worry about your kid eating their vegetables and getting good grades. Now, it's more like, "Did they remember to do their laundry, or are they just wearing a new style called 'Eau de Dorm Room'?" And grades? Well, as long as they're passing, we're just happy they didn't accidentally enroll in a class called "Napping 101."
And don't even get me started on communication. Back in the day, it was a simple call home or a handwritten letter. Now, it's a constant barrage of texts, Snapchat streaks, and FaceTime calls. I feel like I'm running a 24/7 tech support hotline, except instead of fixing computers, I'm trying to troubleshoot why the Wi-Fi in their dorm is as reliable as a soap opera plot.
But hey, we adapt. We've become masters of deciphering emoji-laden messages and interpreting cryptic tweets like we're decoding ancient hieroglyphics. So, to all the parents navigating the challenges of parenting: College Edition – may your communication be clear, your Wi-Fi strong, and your laundry not forgotten.

Now, let's discuss the joyous occasions of parental visitations to the college campus. You know, those weekends when you become a temporary roommate in your kid's dorm room, and you try to act cool while desperately avoiding any mention of the word "curfew." You arrive on campus, and your kid greets you with a hug that's more of a side shuffle, like you're doing the electric slide at a family wedding. And let's not forget the introductions to their new friends. It's like a speed round of "Name That Stranger." You shake hands, smile, and try not to embarrass your child by mentioning their childhood nickname that no one needs to know about.
And then there's the tour of their "favorite" places on campus, which consists of the cafeteria, the library (because you know they live there), and that one spot where they once saw a celebrity – or at least, that's the story they tell you.
But the best part? The awkward attempts at being a college student again. You try to blend in, maybe attend a lecture or two, but you quickly realize that you're the oldest person in the room, and the professor looks at you like you're lost. And when the weekend is over, you leave with a heart full of love, a car full of laundry, and a promise to visit again soon – or at least, as soon as your kid can sneak you into their dorm without raising any eyebrows.
So, here's to all the parents braving the world of college visitations – may your hugs be less awkward, your laundry suitcase less full, and may you always know the cool spots on campus, even if it's just the vending machine that never runs out of snacks.

Alright, folks, let's talk about the parents of college students. Now, I don't know if any of you have kids in college, but it's like doing the tango with your bank account. You take a step forward with tuition, a step back with textbooks, and then you dip into your savings for that dorm room that's basically a closet with Wi-Fi. I feel like I'm in a never-ending dance-off with my finances, and my bank statement is the judge giving me a score like, "Well, you managed to pay for the meal plan, but your retirement fund is looking a bit shaky." And have you seen the price of textbooks these days? I thought my kid was majoring in economics, but it turns out, I'm the one learning about supply and demand every time I check the bookstore prices. I asked the cashier if the book comes with a golden bookmark, and they just laughed like I was telling a joke. No, my friend, the real joke is the price tag on those textbooks.
But hey, at least we get to experience the thrill of FAFSA forms. It's like a scavenger hunt through your tax returns, trying to find every little deduction to get that financial aid. I swear, my accountant is probably thinking, "Why is this guy suddenly so interested in claiming his pet iguana as a dependent?"
So, here's to all the parents doing the tuition tango – may your bank accounts have better footwork than you do.

Let's talk about the parents of college students who've just experienced the empty nest syndrome. You know, that moment when you drop your kid off at college, and suddenly your house feels like it's auditioning for an episode of "Hoarders." I walked into my kid's room after they left, and it was like a crime scene – textbooks scattered everywhere, half-empty ramen cups as far as the eye can see, and I swear I found a sock stuck to the ceiling fan. I didn't know whether to clean it up or just put a "Caution: Hazardous Zone" sign on the door.
And let's not forget about the food situation. The fridge, once a bustling metropolis of snacks, is now a barren wasteland. I opened it, and all I found was a lonely carton of expired milk and a container of mystery leftovers that had evolved into a new life form. I never thought I'd miss the days of arguing over who ate the last slice of pizza – now I argue with the echo in the kitchen.
But there's a silver lining to this empty nest thing – the grocery bill is suddenly a lot lighter. No more buying family-sized portions of everything. Now it's just me, a microwave, and the occasional visit from a pizza delivery guy who knows me by name. So, to all the parents with an empty nest and a full fridge – may your leftovers be edible, and may you find joy in solo pizza nights.
