If you know me, really know me, you know how difficult and stressful my dad can be. Today I sent my first 4 college applications. I texted my dad hoping for a good job/congratulations. Instead he gave me two thumbs down lol. Then tried to tell me I wouldn't want to be there, he doesn't want me at these schools. But to be fair, he did not contribute in anyway to helping me build a college list so does he really have a say as to where I apply. Especially considering he didn't have to pay for the application. My dad is terrified of me growing up, turning 18, and graduating high school then going off to college, he doesn't think I know so it's fun to watch him just look at me like "Damn, my #1 is almost gone" . In the end he said good job when he realized my reasoning was right lol

Parents are just so varied in general, especially in this finally stage of our childhood. This is basically the last official year he will have a strong grip on you so you may notice that he is trying to exercise some control over you in unusual circumstances. I've learned after being 18 for two months that you are an adult to the rest of the world but technically still in a child-like position when you're at home since you still have to live with your parent(s) until you actually graduate and leave for college. Therefore, you have to make it seem like you are still listening to them, even though your mind is telling you that you're officially an adult and you don't got time for that. My mom claims shes mad I didn't include her in the college process, but she knew since 8th grade all the colleges I wanted to go to so I think sometimes she just starts arguments for no reason because we barely talk that much since I've gotten older.
