Is It Her or Is It Me?


So I'm struggling to raise this snarky teen with quite possibly the driest sense of humor imaginable and she's driving me crazy. She's so blah, so passe' about everything. I don't remember being like this at her age. I won't say I wasn't, just that I don't remember it.

We've gone round and round about college. She's not sure about what she wants to major in. I've told her repeatedly that she doesn't have to know. Granted it would make searching for specific scholarships easier, but if she doesn't know, she doesn't know. I'd really like her to go in undecided, take her general ed courses and then figure it out. Problem is her two best friends are brainiacs and both of them know what they want to major in, at least they think they do. I've told her they'll change their minds fifty-eleven times before they really figure out what they want to do. I'm 38 and I haven't figured it out yet! But I'm just Mom, what do I know, right?

Anyway, there's always three sides to every story.  You'll hear mine, hers and you can figure out the truth.  Join us on our year long journey from high school senior to college freshman.
