20 Struggles That Prove Commuting To School Is The Worst

Going to college is hard enough, but getting there can be even worse when you have to commute.

1. You've pretty much accepted that this your life

2. Morning classes are the worst


3. You attempt to leave early, but there's still traffic

4. You check the time and realize you're going to miss class

5. Traffic predictions say you'll be late, but you're an expert at your route

6. Then every light on your route turns red. Every. Single. One.

7. But that's OK because there's plenty of time to jam to your favorite tunes

8. Trying to figure out your school's parking signs is impossible


9. And getting parking citations is inevitable


10. You can't stand when your friends complain about living on campus


11. And you're pretty much obligated to drive them everywhere


12. But then they complain about your driving


13. When the weather is bad and the school doesn't cancel classes


14. So you drive all the way there, only to find out your professors cancelled last minute


15. And gas prices just keep going up

16. You're fed up with people who act like they don't know how to drive

17. Self control means nothing until someone cuts you off


18. Trying to make curfew can be dangerous

19. And when you finally get home you're just ready to go to bed

20. Only to have to do it all again the next day

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
