All 3 of my children are going to college this fall. My daughter, a sophomore, left today for soccer conditioning. We take my youngest son, a freshman, tomorrow to move in to his dorm. And my oldest will start his senior year in about a week and a half. That’s right — 3 kids, 3 different colleges! The following image is for son #2 who when told that all incoming freshman were required to read Eudora Welty’s The Optimist’s Daughter, said “we have to read a book?!”. I actually wrote my honor’s thesis on Welty’s novels!
Too see other bookish images and to join in this fun meme, head over to Cindy’s Book Club.


Oh you poor (pun intended) mother, 3 in college. Anyway, I love that image, it so describes what the students have to face each new term. We have 3 Grand daughters attending college this year. The twins just graduated high school, their sister is a Junior I think this year. My how time flies…
Good pun! The books are overwhelming, especially the $600 price tag!
