College As Told By The Seven Dwarves

It's off to work we go.

College As Told By The Seven Dwarves
Los Angeles Times

As the school year is about to start once again, there can be some mixed feelings from the impending school year. College is a wonderful and exciting place, possibly the best four years of your life. I guarantee there will be ups, down, and crazy stories that will stay with you for the rest of your life. To help describe some of the wild events and ever-changing emotions are the seven dwarves from "Snow White."


1. Doc

First and foremost, college is where you come to pursue your future career. You learn to become a leader and how to apply your newly gained skills and talents to everything you do. Some people want to be doctors, lawyers, teachers, ministers and so on. It is important to remember this when the other demands of college are pulling you in a million ways. You're going to do life-changing things, let nothing get in the way of your dream.

2. Grumpy

College can have several reasons to be grumpy: having 8 a.m. classes, risking all-nighters, taking finals, having never-ending hunger, being broke, etc. Yet, it is wise to realize that these are just a part of college life and you can choose to be happy. Just take a day and watch Netflix, or eat a Snickers; you're not you when you're hungry.

3. Bashful

College is a time where you meet several various types of people. This can make anyone a little bashful, especially when you don't know anyone. Don't worry, your squad will show up soon enough.

4. Sneezy

At one point or another, you will get sick. Whether it's homesick, or the flu, we all have to experience feeling bad while at school. This means we have to start being adults and set up our own appointment with a doctor - totally frightening, I know. However, you'll feel much better much sooner if you just face the issue right away.

5. Sleepy

Face it, college is tiring. After hundreds of essays and dozens of study sessions, you're ready for a 48 hour nap. However, college can cause you to be tired for good reasons. Late night roommate conversations, 4 a.m. Taco Bell adventures, and unforgettable hangouts are all just some of the wonderful memories you'll keep with you. Also, naps are always a good thing throughout the day.

6. Dopey

For some people, college is a place where they try new things. College really breaks people out of their shell and sometimes Bashful can turn into Dopey really fast. Whatever you do, if you choose to, be safe and stay smart. Remember Doc and what you came to college for, which is always your first priority and main goal.

7. Happy

No matter how your four years in college will make you feel, I hope you come away feeling happy. You finally have the power to change the way things are for you and the freedom to choose your future. Just remember that no matter what you do in life, do it cheerfully whistling, "Hi-ho! Hi-ho! It's off to work we go!"

By coming familiar with the seven dwarves, you can make it through the trials and triumphs of college, leading you into a happily ever after.

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.
