You're speaking too generally. Many people don't feel that way about college. I didn't. My husband didn't. My father, sister, and cousins didn't. Lots of my friends didn't. Etc.

Indeed. Some of us didn't have those things before going to college. Nothing TO shatter, if you see my meaning. Wow. I think that perhaps I have finally discovered a personal narrative perspective which allows me to feel quite content about my deeply dysfunctional upbringing. Bonus!
