How often should I phone home? Is once a day too much?

Michael

I usually call my parents a few times a week but most of the time it is just to check in and see how their doing etc.

Once a day is WAY too much. I text my parents maybe once every three weeks, and talk to them maybe twice a month. You will find that after a while, you really are living on your own and you don't feel like you live where you lived before. Tucson will become your home after a while. Cutting the cord is part of the experience, and once you learn to establish yourself independently here, you will have such a better time. I wish I had stayed home every summer, because going home is such a drag after being at college. Break away from the parents (still talk to them every couple weeks), but don't try stay in constant contact.
