It seems like special holidays or occasions have been passing us by like bullets for the past few months. You've got graduation coming up, World Water Day, International's Women Day, and so on. You must be tired keeping count huh? Well, one of the most important days of celebration is happening NEXT WEEK. If you've only got finals on your mind, let me help you out by giving you some untraditional ideas to treat yo' mama on Mother's Day.

1. Jump Your Stress Away at a Trampoline Park

Skyzone is a popular trampoline park that has multiple locations across the country.

2. Get a Couples Massage

Who says couples massage is only for a romantic couple! Usually, massage parlors offer a discount for Mother's Day.

3. Jjimjibam

If you want low cost but still enjoy the perks of being in a spa, then jjimjibam is the place for you. A Korean favorite, the open indoor area has multiple "heated" rooms where you can lie and let your pores open up to the heat. This is a great place to bond with your mom while having a place to relax.

If there is a Koreatown in your area, then there should be a jjimjibang around!

4. Try a New Restaurant Together

Like other couples, trying new things together is a great way to spend quality time and have more meaningful conversations, even with your mom! Yelp is a great resource to find that restaurant.

5. If You're Miles Away from Your Mom, Watch a Movie Together (Separately)

This is where Netflix comes in handy. Select a movie that the both of you agree and have it play at the same time, wherever you guys are. This will bring the distance between you even closer.

6. Another Way to Manage the Long Distance: Online Shopping Together

This may probably only work for mother and daughters but if you both love shopping, then call each other and spend that $$!

7. A Simple "I love you"

If scheduling doesn't work out, buy her something sweet and practical. Moms love practical stuff and she'll appreciate it just as much. Throw in a card, too.

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?

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"
