13 Quotations For The Month Of Rememberance

wsllpaper

As part of the Catholic tradition, November is the month of remembrance. Throughout November, we remember and pray for those who have passed away, especially our loved ones. The month begins with All Saints Day and All Souls Day on November 1^st and 2^nd, respectively. I have always found quotations to be a way of encapsulating emotions and truths I know, but cannot articulate myself. As Gus says in "The Fault in Our Stars," “My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.” This quotation is one of my favorites because it does a perfect job expressing what cannot be expressed. In honor of the month of remembrance, here are 13 quotations that convey remembrance; they may serve as constellation builders or just simply resonate.

1. "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." -Thomas Campbell

2. "Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality." -Emily Dickinson

3. "Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven / Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

4. "Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy." -Anonymous

5. "After you are gone, people may forget most of what you have said and done. But they will remember that you loved them." -Steve Goodier

6. "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." -Anonymous

7. "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." -Dr. Suess

8. "It is the capacity to feel consuming grief and pain and despair that also allows me to embrace love and joy and beauty with my whole heart. I must let it all in." -Anna White

9. "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." -Lord Alfred Tennyson

10. "Death— last sleep? No, it is the final awakening." -Walter Scott

11. "For death is no more than a turning over of us from time to eternity." -William Penn

12. "They say that a part of you dies when a special Loved One passes away...I disagree...I say a part of you lives with your Loved One on the other side." -Daniel Yanez

13. "In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on." -Robert Frost

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!

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

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
