As summer rolls to a close, college students across the country are preparing to move back onto their campuses. Eager freshman are probably running around your campus currently preparing for their first days in a new world, while you procrastinate packing (why do you think I'm writing this?) Although a majority of college students are dreading classes starting again, we all have one thing in common: we miss campus. Each campus has it's own unique way of life and different quirks, but here are ten things every Lindenwood University student definitely misses:

1. Pastries from the Spellmann Coffee Shop.

Donuts? Chocolate Long Johns? Cinnamon Rolls? Nothing says, "I'm late to class but need breakfast," like one of these sugary confections.

2. Easy access to Main Street.

Whether you're there for the daytime scene, nightlife, or just for a casual coffee break at Picasso's, you know you've thought at least once "wow, I could sure go for a $1.25 burger at Lloyd and Harry's."

3. Puppies. Everywhere.

Shout out to Five Acres Animal Shelter for lending us your furry friends. They can come back anytime, and they always have somewhere to stay (in my room, preferably.)

4. Never needing to cook for yourself.

OK, we technically can't miss our food because no one has had it yet but...

This year we have ALL NEW CHOICES. Chick-fil-a, Qdoba, and a new coffee shop are gracing our campus with their heavenly presences. Cha-ching.

5. Mount Roemer.

I'm completely kidding. No one's ready for that work out. Cheers to showing up to class sweaty!

6. But... Butler Library, though.

Let's be real, everyone misses Butler because they miss impromptu naps when they're supposed to be doing something important.

7. Being only a text away from your friends.

Sure, summer is fun and all until you can't call your friends and go out for food within five minutes because they, well... don't live two doors down from you.

8. The constant stream of random Yaks.

We all know one thing: hometown Yik Yak sucks. Lindenwood's Yaks tend to be wild and sometimes out of hand (pineapple dude, RRG?) but definitely more fun than any other campus' Yaks I've seen. Keep on Yakking, kids.

9. Grab 'n' Go Pizza.

I just miss Grab 'n' Go and pavilion food in general. Maybe they'll start combining puppy visits with the pavilion food days.

10. Being viral on the Internet for wild geese.

This will go hands down as one of the funniest things to ever occur on campus. Who knew that homicidal geese could launch us into the world of Internet fame?

One thing is for sure, no matter how much we hate the daily grind, everyone loves being back on campus. Here's to another successful year!

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.
