Odyssey

2017 has officially begun and that means a fresh start (and goal-setting). If you are an avid reader, you probably know about Goodreads Reading Challenge, where account holders can set a goal of books they hope to complete by the end of the year. I read 14 books in 2016, beating my goal by two! Well, this year, add another level to your challenge by picking books that match the following prompts below! So, I’m calling all bookworms, English majors, Goodreads account holders, and folks who want to start reading, but never had the motivation-let’s do this!

1. More than 500 pages

2. A book that became a movie

3. Published this year

4. Has a number in the title

5. A recommendation form a friend

6. True story

7. Pulitzer Prize winner

8. Nonfiction

9. Only based on the cover

10. A memoir

11. A book you can finish in a day

12. A book set someplace you want to visit

13. A book that you own, but haven’t read

14. A play

15. A banned book

16. A book you started, but never finished

17. A book written by your favorite author

18. A book written by an author you have never read

19. A trilogy

20. A book from a nonhuman perspective

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!
