22 Signs You Are a Tech Nerd
Michael Carpenter

So you think you're a Tech Nerd? Well, if you are a Tech Nerd, here is a list that may help you confirm the already known fact that you are.


1. You probably have a desktop computer and are reading this on it at school.


2. You probably built that desktop yourself and it is you life and soul most of the time (unless it acts up).


3. You have had a stern talking to most of your electronic devices begging them to work or else.



4. You work better than your university's or work's IT department and you just beg people to let you fix their computer because you know you can do it better and faster.



5. Family and Friends are always asking you why their computers or smartphones stopped working.



6. You probably play some incredibly nerdy kind of video game that takes up most of your spare time.





7. You are constantly tinkering with technology trying to fix things and make them better.



8. You are a hoarder of electronics and dealing with your family goes something like this: "Hey mom, please don't throw that 15-year-old computer out. I swear that I will use parts out of it someday.



9. You are totally proud of yourself when you finally do reuse those parts.


10. You are always showing your family how they can better use their smartphones by showing all of those nifty features that you know they will never use.


11. Your Tech Nerd status is not always just on computers it often extends to things like high powered Flashlights and you blind others often.



12. Don't even get me started on lasers.





13. You constantly look for leaks online to what features that new iPhone will have and you actually watch Apple Keynotes.


14. When people cannot understand technology you actually get frustrated.


15. You think that your operating system is obviously the best.

16. People look at you like you are crazy with the amount of money you spend on computer parts.



17. Loved ones try to keep you away from the computer parts store at any cost, but like trying to keep a fat kid away from a candy store it doesn't work.



18. Sometimes going to the computer lab at school aggravates you by how many people use technology.



19. You brag to your other friends by how fast you schools internet is, but you don't mention that you could only get that speed at 3 A.M. when you and 1 other person stayed on campus.


20. You always want the latest and greatest technology.


21. You remind yourself that nerds rule the World.



22. Your wallet will hate you once you buy that new piece of fantastic tech but you know it's worth it.

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.
