11 Things I'm Going To Miss About My Childhood
Riley Swart

With my sister going to college this year, I am beginning to see the end of my childhood. My childhood was filled with theater camp, friends, games outside, vacations, parties with other families and endless fun. Although, I can't wait for the adventures ahead of me, it's very sad to leave this part of my life behind.

1. Wearing Disney princess costumes

Lets be real, they need to make adult princess dresses. I would totally be down for that.

2. Playing games in the summers outside

Ghost in the graveyard, kick the can, mafia, frogger, the list goes on and on.

3. Having a big family Christmas, where everyone can be there

I remember sleeping by the tree with my sister to try and see Santa every Christmas.

4. Getting to wear super cute night gowns

Not only did I have princess dresses, but also princess night gowns.

5. Playing in the snow in the winter

Taking off the multitude of layers that all started dry but were inevitable soaked by snow was definitely the best part. (And a big cup of hot chocolate)

6. Having no worries in the summer

The summer was the best. My mom never worked so the days were filled with pools, friends and ice cream.

7. Going on vacations with your family and other families

Let's take a moment of silence for all of the hours of sleep not gained on these trips.

8. Not caring about what you looked like in pictures

Yes that is me in the middle. Cringe worthy, right?

9. Getting food all over your face and people think its cute

I still get food all over my face. It's just not cute anymore.

10. Having your grandparents think you're the bomb

My grandparents still love me. It's just now not everything I do is cute.

11. Going on playgrounds and not being to big

I can no longer hang off a monkey bar, but I can however hit my head while walking underneath them.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

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.
