The Final Four really got to all of the Jayhawks. No matter if you made it to San Antonio to cheer for KU in person or if you were with them in spirit, all of us had a roller-coaster weekend. It put all of our hearts through the wringer. Though we didn't make it to the final, as Jayhawks, there are more things we can do than we think to get through the little sad post-game moods.

1. Still, show cheer and supports for our players

Although we really want to beat all other schools and win the champion, our athletes are the ones who are fulfilling our dreams. The efforts they make and the time they spend training, the pressure they have to overcome for the season are something that we'll never experience.

So even if they lose this one, we should still let them know we are really proud of them and the whole campus is waiting for their come-backs. They need our supports and cheers especially when they lose the game. We are the big family that's always here for them, no matter they win or lose, they carry the glory when they come back on this land.


2. Do not spread your negative thoughts about the game on campus

We already know that we lost the game and we don't need you to remind us of the pain. We also don't need your point of view on what our athletes could've done to win the game or why we lose because we don't care about your thoughts. If you are really that of an expert, I suggest you take over as coach.

If you don't think you can do that, then just shut your mouth and smile. We only need positive energy at this point. So get rid of your big-mind thoughts and don't try to be a pro.


3. Get some sleep to make up for the madness

We all had an exciting week and used all of our energy to get ready for the game. It's time to get some real sleep without thinking about the game, or suddenly wake up because you dream about cheering in the game and it gets you really energetic.

We have all been incredible supporters for KU and it's time for us to be supporters of our own bodies. It's more important for us to get enough rest to face everyday challenges in college.


4. Get back to your homework and prepare for the week

I guess most of us just dump our homework aside to watch the game on weekend, at least I didn't start a single page for my four papers that are due this week. But we have to face the reality that we are not going to have day-off for school. All homework and classes are just going to be as usual as before.

What a magical transition huh! But yes, the truth is we still have to finish the undone homework and prepare for the five-day school week. No rush, embrace yourself for that, give a little smile to the homework and get right to it!


5. Clean your game gears and look forward to the next season

What did you do with all your gears? Did you kiss them and store them well for the next NCAA season? Well if you didn't you probably should, because they are pretty holy and have some special meanings. That crimson and blue really need your care to keep as shiny as they are right now. Don't just throw them away because you are too upset to see KU lose and still having a hard time believe it. Because next season they will absolutely shine till the very end.

I know it's really hard to make through this transition smoothly because most of us are still in the mood of cheering and screaming and definitely not really for schooling. But the reality is cold and real, time for us to get down this roller coaster and wait for the next ride.

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.
