Is It Even Christmas Time?

It's just not the same this season.

Is It Even Christmas Time?

Can you believe Christmas and the new year are right around the corner?

I don't know about ya'll, but this year just doesn't have the holiday spirit like it usually does. Maybe it's because of the lack of snow, not being able to sit on Santa's lap anymore, or because of how the entire year seemed to go for everyone (it was bad), but the holiday season just isn't the same.

With all of the new technology and what not, I feel like I've bought most of my gifts through websites like Amazon. Has it literally gotten to the point for anyone else where you can't even go to the store to buy whatever the gadget might be? Kind of sad, but it definitely fits in to my lazy-bum schedule.

With all being said, THANK YOU to the houses off of 1st Street who still, somehow, find the energy, time, and money to put a show on for the valley. At least something around here feels like Christmas! If you haven't been to see the "blue lights" or the extravaganzas off of H Road, and 1st St., I highly recommend it. It's perfect for date nights, hanging out with friends, and even singing along to Christmas Carols with the whole family.

BUT, if you are also on board with the lazy-bum schedule this holiday season, here are some pictures from the homes of the valley! Hope you enjoy! (But really, they're better in person!)

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.
