Describing college life as a sleepover seems such a Gen Z thing though. I mean, can you imagine one of those hardy, manly, macho writers from the mid-20C like Gore Vidal or Truman Capote describing college as a sleepover? Ha.
Pic: Nu (on the right) entertaining on their side of the little playhouse in Yellow Springs (the other side was At's) that I furnished and finished using the dollar store + thrift store. The other kids in the photo, whose mom is still in my will as my healthcare proxy in case Big A can't, continue to be dear friends. I have B's early notes with the sign off "I love you No" (I chuckle at that misspelling of "Nu") saved.
So apropos that this photo should show up in my feed as Nu settles into their first place away from home. On family chat, everyone joked about how much Nu has grown in the last five years (the caption says "5 years ago"). Actually, the photo showed up as "five years ago" in 2015, so it's circa 2010. NGF's photo.

So cute...
Awwww what a sweet photo. A sleepover!! I love it.
It sounds like you're doing well! I wonder if it feels like a sleepover because Nu is still pretty close to home. When I took my son to school, it was so far away, it was clear it wasn't a sleepover!
I love that photo. Ah... the years go by so fast, don't they?
What a treasure that photo is! I didn't have a playhouse, but I spent a great deal of time sitting in the maple tree in the front of our house, reading, listening to my little transistor radio, and thinking.
Nu must have a great temperament and attitude if they feel like they are just at a sleepover right now. So relaxed and at ease. I wish I had had that approach even a tiny bit.
I'm glad you both are settling in so well.
Cute
