I'm going to avoid talking to my mom about colleges
Do you know why you don't want to talk to your mother?
I don't exactly know why, I always avoided talking to my mom about this.
It is understandable that sometimes you don't want to talk to somebody but it would be good to let them know. Otherwise they will feel bad and not know why.
I'm not going to make a big deal about it.
But she'll eventually will bring it up. What will you do then? It's better to confront this issue while you can.
