Nah i dont buy it. Well adjusted kids do well adjusted things.

Its been a minute since my freshman year but i can assure you there was NOTHING that year provided me with outside of football tailgates, my pledge class and the stark reality that i was gonna have to transfer out if i wanted to graduate because there was entirely too much partying happening.

Those kids didnt lose a year unless they wanted to lose a year.

At least they will have the rest of their lives to sort out their feelings/issues.

many dont have that opportunity unfortunately. You are approaching this with a very narrow view. Widen the lens just a bit.

So when they are grandparents, they can replace " when i was your age we walked 10 miles, barefoot, in snow" with " when i was your age we woke at 845 logged on, and did school work from our bed". ;)
