To The Fraternity That Helped Me Through College

I can't believe little ole Penn State Altoona would have brought some of the greatest guys I can call my best friends.

Going to college was not an easy thing for me. I started my college life in my dorm all the time unless I was in class. When I finally decided to try out for the cheer team, I found some of my best friends. Not long after that, we were invited to hang out with the brothers of Alpha Phi Delta (APD), where I met some of the nicest and most genuine guys. After we hung out with them, and I got close to them, I found myself talking to them and hanging out with them almost every night.

When days went to hell and classes just got harder, I always went to them for encouragement and to get things off my mind. The brothers of APD are so caring, they will do anything and everything to make their friends feel safe and loved. Having the days that I felt so low and having them do nothing but make me laugh and smile— I will truly cherish that forever.

I am forever thankful for you, APD brothers.

Thank you for all of the fun nights that got me out of my shell. Thank you so much for helping me find some of my forever friends. Y'all are the greatest guys that I could have gotten to know. You all have opened the doors and welcomed me in so many ways. Meeting you guys is one of the greatest things that could have happened to me. From the moment y'all threw the surprise birthday party for me (without knowing me) to the time I was punched at our Waka Flocka concert and you guys defending me, I will forever hold y'all close to my heart.

The memories that were made will be ones that I will forever cherish. You brothers really show the true meaning of family. A lot of people hear fraternities and think negatively, but they obviously haven't experienced or met the people that are in one. With being around the Greek life environment with you guys, it was just another reason why I decided to join Greek Life.

Penn State Altoona's Alpha Phi Delta, thank you so much for being such a positive impact on my life. You will always be one of the reasons I look at life from such a different perspective.

I can't believe little ole Penn State Altoona would have brought some of the greatest guys I can call my best friends.

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.
