Is It Really Junior Year? Already?

Only a couple weeks left of summer vacation. Move-in day is very near. Here are a few expected experiences that snuck up on you faster than you anticipated. Just in time for junior year.

Tuition Increase

You look at your financial aid award and...

...wait a minute. That is a lot of money. What does that even look like in real life? I did not sign up for this.

Class Schedule

You take a look at your class schedule because it has been a while since you checked. Oh... you didn't realize you are taking all of these upper-level courses. Well, that's going to be...different.

Year of the 21st

All of your friends will be turning 21 this year! Including yourself. Woo. That's going to be expensive, isn't it?

Internship

Oh I'm supposed to get an internship this year, aren't I? I will definitely get one next semester. Yeah, yeah that sounds good. I'll use this semester to find a perfect one.

Halfway mark

You realize that you're halfway through college, but didn't you just graduate high school like a few months ago?

To be continued...

At the end of the day, you get to move back to school with your fantastic roommates for another year full of adventures, mistakes, and endless laughter.

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.
