"...supposed to teach you the hard way that there is a reason you do not eat ice cream for breakfast."  I'd argue that if one hasn't learned this by college, then they're not ready to be on their own. But then I look at all the butterhuffing tumbltards that make up most colleges these days, with their safe spaces, their participation trophies, and their "I do what I want and you're a bigot if you say otherwise" attitudes. I quickly realize that colleges are now just adult daycare centers with books.
