Watching College Fly By in the Blink of An Eye

Two Years Down, Two More To Go

College In Colorado

Sophomore year is coming to a close in approximately 37 days or less. When my 18 year old self first arrived at college, I believed that I had all the time in the world. I figured that four years sure would maybe go fast, but at this point it is going faster than I would have ever believed. While I aim so very excited for the upcoming years ahead of me, it is sad to watch time fly this quickly.

College has been an absolute blessing. I have made some of my best friends here, they are basically my family. They are the best gift I could have asked for. College has shown me so much about myself and the great big world around me. There are so many options and so many things to do and see.

Attending my University has been yet another absolute blessing, it has offered so many interesting course and has rounded me into a better person. In just two years I’ve learned more than I did in four years of high school.

As I’m thrilled to begin my summer pretty soon, it’s scary to think that I have limited summers left, I have limited time left and then pretty soon it’s going to be all new again.

Junior year has a lot coming for me and I’m excited, but it’s safe to say I’ll miss being that underclassmen in her dorm room, change isn’t easy while the routine is comfortable.

I know that it’s important to enjoy my time left as a kid, but it’s hard to say that the good old days are coming to an end much faster than I would like. I love everything about college, I guess that’s why people call it the best days of their lives.

I’m currently having the time of my life, it’s the time to enjoy myself and have unlimited amounts of fun. While I don’t want this time to end, all good things must. These first two years of college though has made me learn more than words could tell. Its life lessons, academic lessons and little and big lessons, ill eventually take into the next chapter of my life.

I will use my nursing classes in my career, I will cherish the friendships I’ve made and what they have taught me about myself.

I cannot believe how fast the first two years have flown, and I can’t even think about how fast the next two will fly. However though, even though the years will pass, clocks will tick on, memories and polaroid’s last forever and this incredible time in college will never fade from my memories.

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!
