Agreed! We need to liven up the Moulton group just a little bit, and of course invite all the missing people, since it only has ~ 90 people out of two hundred something :(

Anyone have any experience dealing with over clingy relatives? Here's my problem-
My cousin is dropping me off- it's too far a drive for my parents, and it's convienient for her (she claims to be 15 minutes away in St. Catherines, she drives like a maniac)...
So, nice gesture, right? Besides the whole 150KMH for 2 hours thing...
She's nearly 50 years old. She's a total wanna-be-15-again type. She's obsessed with me going to university. She won't shut up about it. She's pretty much kidnapped me once (Ahh you need to go shopping, come on come on! and literally dragged me to her car). She calls up and talks to me about being drunk, parties, etc. ALL the time. She wishes she were going to university as a 19 year old.
And I'm pretty sure she's going to hang around and talk to EVERYONE in my building for hours and hours and everyone that she meets inbetween the car and residence, and just in general harass everyone.
I want to get my stuff in my room, and go out, meet people, get my macpass, student card, etc. Have a good time. My idea of meeting people does not include my cousin running around showing pictures of her kids and telling them about how her husbands car blew a tire on us, then saying "BY THE WAY, THIS IS MY COUSIN!"
Sorry, did I run on there?
How can I get rid of her?! I don't want to say "Get lost" but I DO want her to get lost!

You can tell her some BS about doing welcome week activities and only students being allowed for it. If all else fails then you could always just pretend to be walking to the tim hortons or something and disappear on the way XD. Maybe tell one of the WW reps and they can get rid of her for you.

Or you could always just tell her the cold hard truth which would be to act her age and that you would prefer to be left to do your own thing. That's always an option. How else will she know that you don't like what she's doing since she probably doesn't see anything wrong with it.

I have just finished packing for the Sept 1 move-in date for my off-campus place, and it took less than half an hour.

Very impressive. It would take me 30 minutes just to decide which outfits to pack.

haha same .. but for me it's more like an hour and 30 minutes , especially since I don't wanna take my whole closet
Flag- I don't recommend hurting her the day you're leaving for university which also means you won't see her as often as you used to :(. It'll just be way too hurtful.. Why don't you just tell her that parents can only stay for a certain time, as in if your drop off is 8-12, go at like 10, and tell her it ends 12 or something, and since the other floors will be moving in, you can tell her that too!. So that she doesn't have too much of a chance to stay around. That's what I would do anyway. My parents are going to stay as well, but when they see how crowded it is, I doubt they'll wanna stick around anyway, it'll get crazy!

Residence students don't be deceived. It takes much longer than 30 minutes to pack everything you need. Don't pack your entire life but don't forget essentials such as deodorant, hangers, printers, etc.
