Hmmmmm...that's a good one. Depends on how you do it now...do you just quilt whenever? Or certain days? Certain times of the day?

Setting your expectation in the beginning will help your college student to respect your time/space. Say you like to quilt in the mornings, then tell them so. Like, "I usually grab a cup of joe and wander around The Studio, so if you'd like to go XYZ in the afternoon, that would be fun!" or, if they say, "Hey, I made an appointment to have my teeth cleaned on Friday at 10am" then you can say, "Ooh...do you need help getting there? Because I can't do it in the morning, but I'm available in the afternoon...can you call them to see if they can reschedule?"

If they try to just make you "drop everything" this will be yet another life lesson..."I'm sorry honey, I can't do that right now. But I can do it at X time..."
