1. The one who’s bitter about 2018

Let's just say 2018 affected everyone differently.

2. The one who’s convinced 2019 will be their year

Their mentality for the new year: let's get this (fresh) bread!

3. The one who’s determined to find love

All they want is a bae by the time Valentine's day comes around.

4. The one who’s sick of winter and wants spring to come

Winter is nice until you're bored of snowmen and ready for beach season.

5. The one who won’t remember St. Patty’s Day

Let's hope they enjoyed themselves, though.

6. The one who blew all their money on Spring Break but doesn’t regret it at all

Flights, hotel rooms, and drinks are expensive, but memories are priceless.

7. The Game of Thrones lover who’s over the moon

Throne fans have been waiting for this new season for over a year!

8. The relieved graduate

They're just happy to be here.

9. The girl who went to five weddings over the summer and just wants to get engaged already.

You can only wear a bridesmaid dress so many times until you're itching to wear the wedding dress.

10. The one who adopted a pet and found their best friend

Half of their camera roll consists of pictures of their new friend.

11. The one who refused to date but eventually gets cuffed

They didn't believe in the concept of dating until they found that one special person that changed their mind.

12. The guy who dressed in a couple’s Halloween costume just to please his girlfriend

He obviously didn't voluntarily choose to dress like Troy Bolton by himself.

13. The one who’s counting down the days until the next presidential election

Thank you, next.

14. The one who studied abroad for a semester and won’t stop talking about it

Catch them mentioning studying abroad at any social event, even when the conversation has nothing to do with it. For example: "Oh, I love your shirt! When I studied abroad in France, the waiters at my favorite restaurant wore red shirts, as well", or "This wine reminds me of the wine I tried when I was abroad in Italy".

15. The one who takes a social media cleanse

They deleted the Instagram app for ten days and claim their life has changed.

16. The one who finds God

#blessed.

17. The one who takes the holidays too seriously and turns into Santa Claus

All they need is the red suit to go with their holiday cheer.

18. The one who proudly kept all of their New Year’s resolutions and is already making their list for next year.

It's time to leave bad habits in the old year and pick up good ones in the new.

19. The one who’s ready for 2020

365 new days means 365 new opportunities.

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.

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"
