Seriously, I tell all my friends and I don\u2019t stop talking about her visiting me for days. But this past week I had the privilege of having both my parents join me on campus for a fun-filled day of watching Cedarville\u2019s winter play, hanging out, and eating pizza (and yes, I ate an entire pizza by myself). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever since my brother went to Cedarville, my family has always enjoyed watching the school\u2019s theatre productions. When I saw that they were doing an Agatha Christie play, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appointment with Death,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I, of course, knew that we would have to go.

You never quite realize how important they are to you until you don\u2019t have them at your beck and call. I know everyone has different home lives, but I\u2019ve been very blessed by two incredible parents that I love spending time with. Being at college has definitely taught me that I\u2019m not as cool and independent as I had thought I was in high school. It\u2019s funny because when I was at home, I never saw how absolutely amazing my parents are and what incredibly wise people they are, too. I always look forward to their advice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Here\u2019s me and my parents outside the theatre.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"603\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-222\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image1.jpg?resize=700%2C603&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image1.jpg?resize=700%2C603&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image1.jpg?resize=250%2C215&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image1.jpg?resize=768%2C661&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image1.jpg?resize=120%2C103&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/image1.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the only people you\u2019re around are 20-year-olds, you often forget what it\u2019s like to interact with \u201cthe real world\u201d and actual adults. I always feel like conversations with people older than me are a breath of fresh air after being around kids my age for so long. I don\u2019t think college students often realize how isolated they are from the diversity of people. So, not only is it amazing to see my parents, but it is also nice to hear conversations from people who aren\u2019t my age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyway, so what did a visit from my parents look like? Well, it started with them driving up to Cedarville, which fortunately is only a little over an hour from home. Next, our favorite thing is to reminisce about the days when my brother used to go here (10 years ago!). We always find the pictures of my brother on the wall outside the DeVries Theatre from his days in Cedarville\u2019s plays. I like to show them around the student center and talk about all the changes that have happened (which are a lot in even just the past year alone). It\u2019s also always a bonus if any of my friends walk by, because then I can introduce them, and my parents will be proud of me for making friends. Basically it\u2019s fun to pretend like I know everything about campus and hope that I\u2019ll make Mom and Dad proud of me by showing them that I\u2019m doing well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having your parents visit sort of feels like when you\u2019re a little kid showing your mom something you made: \u201cLook! Look, Mom! Look what I made! Are you proud of me!\u201d And she smiles and says she is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Of course now that I think about it, maybe nobody else has this undying desire to please their parents, but I definitely do. The bottom line is, Mom and Dad, if you\u2019re reading this, please come visit me again!)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This past week I had the privilege of having both
