15V: Autonomy

Autonomy is defined as the state of existing or acting separately from others.  In a college sense, it is being on your own.  You are existing, separately, from the guiding adults that have watched over you for the pivotal years of your life.  Autonomy of a college student is, living several consecutive days without someone making sure you are doing your homework, or eating right, or geting home on time.  Here, there are only a few people to make sure you are safe, the rest is up to you.  Obviously, this can refer to almost anyone, in certain circumstances, but, this is the most common and easily relatable example for my classmates, my target audience and myself.
