So my younger sibling is applying to college and my parents want them to go to the same college as me. It's a big campus and a well-respected school, yet I grimace at the expectation that we will live together... I love my sibling and we have always been close but I really like having my independence at college and don't want to have to keep an eye or be stuck with my sibling. We have very different personalities and my sibling tends to be the favorite among people because they are much more social and out going than I am. Everything that I have ever done my parents have pushed my sibling to do the same and finally in college I feel like I have created my own identity and I don't want that to be destroyed by having my sibling here following in my shadow yet again. My parents don't understand and when I try to talk to them about it and I feel like I'm being selfish since I am attending a really good college, but at the same time I would like to have an accomplishment that I don't have to worry about sharing with my sibling yet again. Any advice??
