About 14 years ago, I sat in a church service with my husband and tiny daughter. My mind settled on the family in front of us. Two parents and three teenagers. I have thought about this family so often over the years and even more recently. It was the early service. The teenagers were awake but looked rumpled. Two boys and a girl. And I looked at them with envy.

When I started college admissions counseling 20 years ago, students would come to meetings hefting heavy boxes of viewbooks they'd received from colleges. They'd dump them unceremoniously on my office floor and ask, "How do I tell these schools apart when they all look and sound alike?" As I moved through my career, I began to see fewer viewbooks and hear more complaints about the volume of recruiting emails flooding student inboxes.

Proud is an understatement for how I felt about my daughter’s adjustment to college life. Happy doesn’t do justice to how I felt when I hung up on our Facetime calls, during which she shared with me details about her day, her professor, or a classmate who smiled at her. After 18 years of life at home, 12 years of public school, and 9 summers at sleepaway camp, my daughter was “doing the college thing” several states away…and she was doing it well.

While the internet makes it seem like the world is at our fingertips, sometimes you just can’t replace actually experiencing something first hand.
