If you are in your twenties you may be figuring out life just like me. You are probably in college or just graduated and out in the real world. I don't need to remind you that every once in a while life just sucks. No one said life was going to be a walk in the park. Life gets complicated some times and people suck, but that's the joy in the mess. Here are some things I'm learning as I wander through my twenties.

1. Life is too short to not eat dessert.

2. Don't argue with people that aren't worth your time.

3. Never let anyone make you feel worthless.

4. No one will make you happy but yourself.

5. Not everyone will agree with you. So move on.

6. Don't look at the past, but keep moving towards your future.

7. If you're in a bad relationship then leave them. You're in your twenties go have fun.

8. Always stick to your morals.

9. Stay grounded in what you believe in.

10. Communicate. No sense in holding all that in

11. It's ok to have a couple of mental break downs.

12. Be yourself.

13. You're going to find someone who loves you. Chill, remember you're only in your twenties!

14. Don't be normal because it's boring, so just be the best version of you.

15. Get rid of toxic people. Life is way too short for people who are not worthy.

16. Fight for what you love and who you love.

17. Who cares what people think about you.

18. It's ok to make mistakes, that's life.

19. Don't let people be mean to you. Stick up for you.

20. Embrace everything life throws at you.

21. Trust your instincts. Always.

22. Stop comparing yourself to everyone in this world.

23. Let it go. Some things aren't worth your time.

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!
