Bare Feet On The Ground | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

I'm not sure if this is just me, but I love being barefoot. It's very grounding to me and awakens my senses. It is really weird when I think about it, but it is like I have extra sensory whenever my feet hit the ground. The best time is in the summer when the driveway is really hot (not scalding hot) and I can just place my feet there for a while and walk across. The most simplistic way I can explain this feeling is it is kind of therapeutic.

I wonder if anyone else understands what I am trying to say here. Whether the ground is hot, warm, cold I prefer being without socks and without shoes (unless of course I'm walking on an open rock-like areas, dirty areas, or sharp areas). I'm talking about smooth surfaces like hardwood floors and tile people.

I invite you to join in on my therapeutic discovery and maybe you will like it too. I find that I like being close to the ground. I prefer sitting on the floor over a chair any day (mostly because there isn't a generalized manner of sitting that is expected of anyone). You can sit in criss-cross applesauce form, some weird yoga pose, or whatever other way you can imagine to sit. Above all, you sit COMFORTABLY.

My personal desire is to one day have one of those tables where it's like a Japanese style table where you sit on the floor and have a table low to the ground. I'm not sure why or how this came to mind, but it just did and I felt like sharing. Maybe my idea is crazy and maybe it isn't. Hopefully someone can relate, as I always wish when writing.

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.

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!
