The Life of College Parenting

Today, I want to shed some light on the life of a parent in College. Whether it is rushing to and from school to change diapers, going to a job interview exhausted after a sleepless night, or reading Marketing textbooks to my 4 month old daughter to keep her occupied, my life is not the typical one for a college student. The Michigan Daily published an article full of the lives of other college parents around the country and I thought they would be interested to compare my own life to. The one about Nicole Morack was the one I could relate to the most. Imagine you are finally getting the swing of this whole college thing. Living on your own, pursuing a career, balancing social life and education then WHAM. Responsibility comes and punches you in the face. Just like the couple in the article, my girlfriend and I planned our schedules in order to keep Hadley out of daycare. I have yet to find a parent group on campus but luckily I have made great friends prior to the birth of our daughter who have been very supportive the whole time. I always find it interesting to read about other college students with children and how they handle the crazy wonderful life that it is. Check out the link here!
