Top Five Things Students Fight About With Their Parents Each May

Published May 8, 2007

1. Funds— approximately 8,000 debit cards get dangerously low each May. TDBankNorth makes a killing on overdraft fees, and students tentatively dial their parental units about getting bailed out

2. Moving out— Parents desire that their offspring be packed, sober, and happy to see them when the minivan pulls up. In reality, many students are found hung-over and disorganized come moving-out day. Living on the third floor of an elevator-less dorm does not make anyone feel better about it.

3. Summer jobs— finding a chill summer job that pays well, requires minimal work, and includes hot co-workers can be hard, but your parents probably want you to get on it.

4. Incurred UVM fees— All those times UVM billed your student account for overdue DVDs, holes punched in the dorm hallway, and wary visits to the student health center will start to show up, questions may be asked.

5. Final exams— If you call your parents in tears, stressed about the upcoming nutrition clinical research paper that you seem to have been too busy to get to all year, expect a follow-up call the next day.
