For starters, Merry f------ Christmas. Because it is Christmas, a holiday season meant for cheer and laughter and love. Not bitterness, saltiness, and bitchiness. If you forgot…

I get it, Christmas isn’t for everyone. Not everyone celebrates Christmas which is fine, but for those of us that thoroughly enjoy this time of year I am going to kindly ask you to piss off. I deal with your attitude, your judgmental looks, your snide comments, your eye rolls, every other day of the year. But the time after thanksgiving all the way up into the first of the new year is a “no negativity” time. You can be mean and nasty whenever you want except for this time of year.

What is there to even be mad at? Snow is starting to fall and stick, so it’s pretty outside and you can take as many snaps and post as many instas and get a plethora of likes. It’s much colder outside so drink some tea or hot chocolate to warm up your belly. Make some cookies, everyone loves cookies. Plus, since it is so cold you have a great excuse to get your crush to come over and cuddle. Excitement is everywhere, people hustling and bustling to buy the ones they love the perfect gift, families coming together, smiles being shared among everyone, just pure happiness. Everyone is so happy and cheery around christmas time. It is truly magical so what is your problem with all of this?

Be with your friends, people that make you happy and be happy with them. I understand that those of us in college are stressing over finals right now, which can make cherishing the holiday season a little tough, but having a mean and negative attitude is not going to help you destress. Not to mention that your bad attitude is affecting everyone around you.

Your grumpiness is not pleasant to be around. All I want to do is enjoy my favorite time of year, basking in the magicalness of it all and you're ruining it. So, if you’re going to have an attitude and be mean and negative please just go. I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life, nor do I want it. I do not know why you feel it necessary to be so triggered all of the time, it’s not healthy. Try to see the beauty in the Christmas season.

Don’t be a scrooge… and if you must, do it elsewhere.

Merry Christmas!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

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.
