The holiday season is full of many long drives whether it be to and from college, or to various relatives all over the place. Here are some in-car activities to pass the countless hours.

1. Sleep

Sleep is a beautiful thing, and with finals coming up soon, you'll need all the sleep you can get.

2. Study

Speaking of finals, now would be a good time to start thinking about that.

3. Crochet

It's easier than knitting, and you can make Christmas presents!

4. Watch Netflix

If you have a lot of data or if your bus has Wifi, you can download the app to your phone! Or, more old school, you could watch DVDs on your laptop.

5. Read

Reading is good for the brain and the soul. Grab a book and see if you can read the whole thing during your drive.

6. Drive

Offer to take the wheel for a bit and give the driver a break. They'll appreciate it.

7. Sew

Grab a felt sewing kit from a craft store and make a stocking! You'll seem very crafty and you'll have a nice time.

8. Talk

Talk to your family, but maybe stay away from more argumentative topics.

9. Journal

If you remember a pen and a journal, you can start writing your memoir like you've always meant to.

10. Color

Less work than journaling or crocheting but still artistic and fun!

11. Shop

Get on the Amazon app and start buying some Christmas presents!

12. Music

Listen to some new artists and songs and relish the free time to enjoy them.

13. Meditate

It's like sleeping but cooler! Practice some mindfulness before you're confronted with extended family.

14. Pinterest

Plan your wedding, look at food, lust over clothes and cry over cute animals. You can get lost on Pinterest for hours, no problem.

Drive safely!

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!
