1) Because Snapchat was created by the Devil so he can show Santa all the terrible crap you’ve been up to at your job’s holiday party.


2) Speaking of parties, the holidays force you to be around people you absolutely detest. Your favorite question to every invite is: "Who's going to be there?"


3) During the holidays, you become obsessed with your social life and want to attend every ugly sweater party.

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.
