mis padres condujeron a la universidad al comienzo del primer trimestre. eso fue genial, pero se quedaron, así que fue difícil conversar con
la gente en las habitaciones cercanas a la mía. es mejor si nos dejas para desempacarnos.
No nos pidas que regresemos a casa durante el período de clases. Hay mucho que hacer los fines de semana, simplemente no hay tiempo.
obtén otro interés o mascota si te sientes solo sin nosotros. no nos hagas sentir culpables por irte de casa.
es muy interesante escuchar tus experiencias en la universidad, pero recuerda que fue hace mucho tiempo, así que no hagas tantas cosas,
las cosas han cambiado mucho. ahora tenemos muchas más deudas y será más difícil encontrar un trabajo en el futuro.
por favor no nos controle a nosotros ni a nuestros amigos en Facebook. Sé que es un sitio público, pero tenemos derecho a cierta
privacidad.
no cambies nada en nuestras habitaciones solo nos queda la mitad de nosotros, volveremos en las vacaciones, así que por favor no toques
nada.
todavía nos gusta venir de vacaciones familiares con usted no se olvide de incluirnos simplemente porque no estamos allí todo el tiempo

solo porque estás en la universidad estudiando temas muy complejos, eso no significa que seas más
inteligente que todos los demás. no trates a tu familia como si fueran estúpidos, realmente no somos

no pierdas tanto tiempo en Facebook. necesitas tiempo para todo ese trabajo que tienes que recordarPodríamos hacerle algunos
cambios a su habitación, así que trate con eso. es genial tener una habitación de invitados por fin, pero no cambiaremos demasiado las
cosas, prometemos. no olvides llamar a casa de vez en cuando y no te molestes si te llamamos por teléfono. no es molestar. Si no
llamamos, no sabría que nos importa.
