Being a commuter student isn't easy but there are some things only you and commuter students

understand.

1. You hate getting ready for school!

If you're like me waking up at 6 am in the morning is no fun to get to school on time for your 8 am class.

2. You somehow end up on a rigid schedule for your classes and friends.

I don't know how I started on a such a schedule. I wake up at 6 am leave my house by 7 am to commute 45 minutes to school. After 12 pm, any free time I have gets dedicated to homework and studying. I also try to squeeze in as many times as I can to hang out with friends.

3. You hate having to stay on campus all day.

When I'm on campus all day, it takes such toll on me the next day. I try to limit the number of nights I stay on campus all day. But there are some days I can't control this. On the bright side, it leaves me with more time to study during those long days.

4. Water Fountains become your best friends, and you search for cold fountains on campus.

When I first came to college, I thought I didn't need a water bottle, but that quickly changed the first week of school. Since started school, I have gone through three water bottles. The bottle that I ended up sticking with is my TAL waterbottle. It is just the right size and keeps my water cold all day.

5. You find yourself wanting to sleep in, but you know have to get to school.

There are days I want to sleep in but I know I have to get up and get a move on to get to class. I guess you can say I'm working for the weekend.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
