Chivalry

It isn't dead, it's just evolved.

I know alot of women who love it when men treat them with respect and like a lady. Little acts that makes them feel like they are important and remind them that not all men are imbeciles. Holding a door open is an overused example of chivalry, so is paying for the bill. Trust me guys these things are nice to do but, today guys cant even do that without it somehow offending a woman.

Nowadays women (some) like to open the door and pay their own way. I know unbelievable. But chivalry isn't dead people, he's just on life support at the local hospital. In our corrupt, demeaning, and incredibly confusing society, we want things one way but arent ready to accept that we cant always get our way. Many people say its dead because one guy didnt open the door or pull out their chair but its really alive and well. 500 or some years ago we had knights who showed strength, courage, loyalty, respectful, generous, and gave aid to the poor and defenseless. Now are Knights in shining armour, our soliders in war and regular everyday guys who put the little people before themselves.

Chivalry isnt dead ladies, its just evolved. Most don't get that and seem to think guys are suppose to do our bidding or get angry if a guy doesnt show them the attention they want. It's a two way street now ladies. We live in a world where chivalry can go both ways.

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!
