Ok, i'm a recent graduate, a year early. throughout this previous school year my mother has been all for me going to college, supporting me one hundred percent and never having any objections to my college path that i'll be taking. After years and years of wanting to be a nurse, i decided that i would rather go to college for Information Tech. She really didn't care about it and said that college was important.
It all came down to getting me a student loan because my family doesnt qualify for financial aide because my step father has a 6 digit annual income. my mother after getting a divorce got horrible credit, and has been denied for student loans for me left and right, and she refuses to have my step dad get one ofr me. She then avoids the subject, says that I'm just fulfilling my f***head boyfriends dream, and not following the path i always wanted. So she refuses to do anything ABOUT my student loan. Is it her just stalling to keep me here longer? or her not caring.

Okay. Well this story just kind of popped into my head.
A sixteen year old girl named Kauri Strenman is an ordinary teenager. At least she thinks she is until one day she was at home reading, as usual, and she suddenly got a sharp pain in her stomach. She thought it was just a cramp but then the pain spread to her legs, then her arms. Soon she was in agonizing pain. It felt like all of her muscles were cramping at the same time. Her mom heard her pained moans so she went to Kauri's room to see what was wrong. She found Kauri laying on her bed twitching. She called Kauri's grandma, Shirley, and told her to come over. Shirley got there about ten minutes later and as soon as she saw Kauri she knew what was happening. She called her friend Paul and said two words, "It's happening." Paul came over. He brought a deerskin bag full of supplies. He walked over to Kauri and put his aged hand on her forehead. She instantly calmed, but when she opened her eyes they were blood red. Kauri's mom gasped. Shirley sighed. Paul smiled. He grabbed his bag and pulled out what looked like a plastic bag filled with some red liquid. Paul tore of a corner of the bag and squeezed a little bit of the liquid onto Kauri's lips. Kauri immediately grabbed the bag out of Paul's hand and sucked it dry. When she put down the bag she looked up at Paul with curious then confused eyes. Paul said "It's done." Both Kauri's mom and grandmother knew what that meant. It meant Kauri changed into something that rarely happened anymore. She changed into a vampire. After Kauri calmed down a little more Paul told her the story. "Long ago a Choctaw man named Konah lived on Earth. He was an ordinary man. He was a hard worker and a loving father and husband. In his tribe they believed that a Great Spirit was coming with a gift from god. A gift of which the Great Spirit would give to one man. The tribe waited many days for this spirit to come. One day the sky turned a dark shade of gray. It was lightning everywhere. Suddenly there was a break in the sky. A bright light seeped out of the break. The elders became excited. 'The spirit has come' they would say. The Great Spirit floated down from the sky. The entire tribe was amazed. The spirit went straight to Konah. 'God has granted you with a gracious gift that I will give you. Now you must know that this gift is one of power and is to be used to fight the evil that is soon to come upon you. You must learn how to use it and use it well.' The Great Spirit laid it's golden hand on Konah's shoulder. 'May you use this gift to serve your god and fight this evil with all of your strength.' Then the spirit was gone and everything was back to the way it was. Konah felt different. His family looked at him but then looked away in horror. His eyes were red. Konah said he felt fine but then he smelled something sweet. Blood. With inhuman speed he grabbed his best friend, Muhin, and bit into his neck. Moments later Muhin's eyes were red too. Konah realized what he was and he remembered what he had to do. He and Muhin learned all that they could do. They became excellent fighters. Hundreds of years later the evil came. Konah and Muhin fought with all they had. But what they had was not good enough. The evil overcame them. They were killed. Their tribe became concerned. Years later they figured out that the middle child of every man's children had the vampire gene. Years and years passed and more and more vampires had been made. The tribe also figured out that every vampire had a partner that God had chosen for them. That partner would have to be changed by the vampire of whom they were partners with." Paul looked at Kauri. She seemed to be calm so he continued. "Now you see Kauri. The gene has not been very strong lately. You are the first one to change in a hundred years. I have been watching you for a while. I could feel you were very close to changing. Now you have to start your training but before then you have to have your partner. God will choose your partner and he will tell me. You see, I am God's messenger. I will tell you who your partner is when the times comes but until then you need to learn to control your thirst." Paul taught Kauri how to control her thirst. Weeks passed and still no message as to who Kauri's partner is. Finally the message came. It was Kendra Mcallen.
Is it any good?
Thats all I have thought of so far.

Okay. I am 31. I was born in 1975. Now, I did my research on this about 7 years ago.
1946-1964- Baby Boomers
1965-1981 (or 1983) is the X Generation\
And 1983 - 2001 is the Y Generation.
Now, I went to this web site (it was a link in my email) http://blogs.payscale.com/content/2007/05/taking_time_off.html
and well-I NEVER hear of the Baby BUSTER Generation born from 1965-1976.
Has anyone ever heard of this and if yes-do you know if any web sites that talk about Baby Busters?
All of these years-and I never heard of it. Is it a "New" Generation? Or I am just out of the loop?
Opps. I meant 1983-199? is the Y Generation.

OK, I am 26 years old. I have lived in the same town all my life. I went to college (undergrad) in my hometown and while I lived in the dorms, I went home on the weekends. Then after graduating college I lived at home for a year while working, and decided to go to graduate school at the same school I did my undergrad and live at home while I do so.
So I'm 26 and I haven't lived anywhere except for my hometown. I decided to study abroad this fall in Europe. The plan was to stay for only one semester, but I like it so much that I want to return for the spring (after going home for the holidays) and finish up the academic year here.
My mother is having a hard time with this. She told me that it is my life and I can do what I want. And she told me a few days ago that I don't have to justify my reasons for wanting to stay abroad.
So I was shocked to receive an email from her tonight asking me to reconsider my decision to return to Europe after the winter holidays. She said that her heart is broken more than I can possibly imagine and that our family needs to be together again. Also she said that staying abroad wasn't something I planned to do, so would I please reconsider?
I plan to return home in June to finish up school, and I feel like I have lived at home longer than average. Many of my friends have left home much earlier than me, like at age 22 or even 20. And I'm 26. So it's not like I'm doing something unusual by wanting to stay abroad a little longer. Coming abroad has renewed my interest in life and it has made me appreciate both the US AND other cultures more than I ever did before. Plus I am gaining some confidence and independence. I feel that 5 more months would only enhance that.
The problem is that I feel so bad about hurting my mother because I know she wants me home. I have never lived away from home and she does not have a husband so it's even harder for her.
Is this empty nest syndrome? If so, it will only get worse when my brother and I get married and move out on our own for our jobs. What can I do to help her cope? We have a good relationship but she never wants to discuss my staying abroad over the phone because it makes her so sad. She said I can email her, so I will do that. I don't know how to explain my reasons for wanting to stay abroad without hurting her or sounding selfish. And I think on some level she does understand that it is my life and I have to do what I want. But how do I help her not be so sad? How can I help her handle the whole empty nest syndrome thing in general? I care about her and I don't want to put a rift in our relationship.
