Thanks for picking me up when I'm down.

An Open Letter To The Boy I'm Talking To
Grace Shin

Dear ___,

Sometimes it's just nice to have someone to talk to at 2 p.m. or maybe even 1 a.m. Thank you for being that person for me. Thanks for always being there for me whether I was having a good or bad day. I know that at the end of the day I could always go to you and tell you anything.

Everyone says that they love the "talking stage" because that's when you learn the most about the other person. It's exciting to learn so much about a person in a short amount of time. From strangers, to being able to name your favorite color and having goofy pictures of you on my phone. I never thought you would become such an important part of my life.

To be completely honest, I'm really glad that you and I are not rushing into things. I'm glad we are taking the time to be able to figure out what we want in our lives. Sometimes people tend to jump into something serious so fast that they end up not working out at the end. I hope you and I will be different.

I'm so glad that you and I are always on the go. Hanging out with you is probably one of my favorite things to do. I love that we can just sit there and watch Netflix on some nights. (You got me watching shows that I would've never watched on my own.) I also love that you and I can just go anywhere and still make it fun. I love that our group of friends can hangout together and not be awkward. Your sincerity to my friends truly mean a lot and I'm glad that you are becoming friends with all my friends. I knew from the moment I told my friends about you, they were excited to learn more about you.

I'm glad that you know the joy and the frustration that comes with playing golf. Being able to go to you at the end of my frustrating day and tell you about my round or telling you about this awesome shot I hit is honestly so awesome. I love that I can share such a big part of my life with you.

Whatever we may become or not become, I am truly thankful to be able to meet someone like you. You and I clicked instantly but I never knew that we would be where we are today. It's weird to think that a year ago, we were just friends that said "hi" to each other. I would have never thought that I would be this close to you back then. I also never thought I would feel like Edmond was home. Thank you.

Thank you for listening to me rant about the stupidest stuff while you nod your head and smile at me. I can't really tell if you've lost interest in what I'm saying or not because you keep smiling at me. Thank you for picking me up when I'm down, literally and figuratively. Thank you for not letting me go to my sorority stuff alone. Thank you for studying with me late at night. Thanks for going out and eating with me nonstop because I never want to cook. Oops.. butthank you for being my person.

xoxo,
G

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!
