1. You’re finally home.

A few months away from JMU, the greatest place on Earth, was way too long. Let’s be honest, a few minutes away from this magical place is even a stretch. From E-hall brunch with your best friends, to hanging out on the Quad, to trekking up and down Main, it’s good to be home.

2. Calories magically don’t count for the entire week.

Survived (more like #thrived) on E-Hall brunch every single day? Drank a 12-pack of beer in one night? Ate an entire pizza alone? Killed your bottle of vodka faster than you’d like to admit? Don’t worry about any of it! Calories don’t count when you’re having fun.

3. Hearing the phrase, “Who do you know here?”, is statistically less frequent this week than any other week of the year.

Congrats, boys! Your chance of getting into parties without being interrogated at the door is much higher during frog week, so be sure to cherish your time and make friends quickly.

4. All the new Dukes have arrived.

It’s true: upperclassmen love to make freshmen the end of all jokes, BUT we love you all so much. Welcome to the best family you never knew you needed but will love for the rest of your life.

5. Hanging out at the pool is the only way to spend the days.

Whether you make it into ASPEN, Copper or really any pool in Harrisonburg, you know it’s going to be a good day.

6. You’re taking part in one of the most infamous annual JMU events there ever will be.

Frog week is possibly the greatest week of all JMU students’ time at school, and the most fun way to celebrate the beginning of each year. It’s such a big deal that your friends in other states even ask about it, and you’re lucky enough to get to live it.

7. Being OK with paying WAY too much for Uber.

But if you’re lucky, you’ll get one of the pledges to drive you around for the night or re-live freshman year on the #DrunkBus.

8. Napping whenever possible is totally acceptable.

Nap up – you’ll need the energy! But let’s be honest, napping whenever and wherever possible will always be totally acceptable for college kids.

9. People finally understand again what to do when you yell “J-M-U” more often than you should.

All I gotta say is: DUUUUKKKEEEESSSS!!!

10. Did I mention you’re finally home?

Welcome home! It’s always a great day to be a JMU Duke.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
