It's Winter. Are You Bored Yet?

Man, we must miss summer.

It's Winter. Are You Bored Yet?
Lou, indianagirlonabike

With semester coming to a close, going home sounds wonderful. Family, friends from high school, going back to your favorite coffee shop: it all sounds so perfect. UNLESS YOU LIVE IN NORTHWEST INDIANA, WHERE IT SNOWS AT LEAST 12 INCHES IN THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF A FOUR DAY BLIZZARD. Sadly, that is where I live. But while cooped up in this storm, I've been thinking about how I could entertain myself. So, if you live in a snowy area, or are just bored, here are some things that you could do!

1.) It's time to start a blog

I'm almost positive I started my Tumblr in a blizzard a few years back. Whether it's posting original works or browsing the latest memes and funky catch phrases, Tumblr is one of my favorite pass times. It's easy to get lost in the web and laugh.

2.) Binge watch your heart out

Recently I have been binge watching shows left and right. Not new ones all the time, because I can't find anything that makes me interested (PLEASE GIVE SUGGESTIONS). But Criminal Minds, has had my attention for the last few months. This show has a healthy 11 seasons on Netflix and ranges from 19 to 23 episodes, talk about BINGEING YOUR LIFE AWAY. Or I watch Lie to Me, definitely would recommend this show to everyone. It's about reading people's faces and seeing if they're lying. It has three seasons and roughly 13 episodes in each.

3.) SLEDDING

Ahh, yes. Wear a coat and make yourself comfortable as you go 10+ mph down a hill and laugh your heart out. The snow can get packed enough to feel hard so falling on it may hurt, just be sure to be careful.

4.) Browse the internet

Relevant to blogging, but with this you can shop on Amazon or thisiswhyimbroke.com. They both offer tremendous discounts on funky things that could make someone laugh or cringe -- your choice.

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!
