Teresa Giudice was partying in Mykonos, Greece with some of her girlfriends just a few days ago but now, the partying is over and she is back to the reality of having to live separately from her oldest daughter, Gia. As fans know, the 18 year old is starting college and her mother came back home to help her get settled.

Even though she will continue to live with her other three younger daughters, Teresa was still very emotional when she dropped Gia off at college.

She will be attending Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey starting this fall.

The college is actually pretty close to home, no more than 45 minutes away.

Teresa is obviously very proud but also sad to see her leave the nest.

She took to social media to share a number of videos documenting the firstborn’s process of moving away.

While she was emotional, Teresa did not let her motherly emotions stop her from treating this situation as an opportunity to celebrate and party so she had champagne bottles ready to be opened.

She also filmed the actual moving, showing her brother, Joe Gorga lifting the many suitcases.

Another vid also shows Gia hugging the family pet dog, Bella, saying goodbye as they were finally heading to the campus she will be living on.

Her grandfather Frank Giudice and her 14 year old sister Milania came along for the trip as well.

When they arrived, the RHONJ star gushed over the great view on the campus.

Meanwhile, uncle Joe was setting up a TV and getting her furniture in.

The family was greeted by a group of students so it seems like Gia will definitely have friends in college, even before classes officially start.
