An Open Letter To My Grandparents
drvc-faith

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

Thank you! I know those two words will never truly amount to the gratefulness I have for you both in my heart, but it's the best and simplest way to put it. Thank you for the love that you gave me. Not only while growing up, but the love you provided me before I existed, the love that you encouraged my parents to have for me, the love that you waited in anticipation about 9 months for...... That love.

Thank you for always supporting me! Even when my parents were not exactly on board with what I wanted to do with my free time (ex: gymnastics, soccer, and even rugby) You didn't question my choices in negativity, you questioned my choices in enthusiasm, and couldn't wait to come support me at my game or match!

As I grew older you always kept your best quality, which was listening. If there is one thing that I can appreciate most is that factor! Whether it was a funny story, asking about school/university, or just hearing my dreams of what I want to do and be in life, you have always sat down and listened well!

I appreciate you both always being the most stable thing in my life! When I come home from college, my routine trips to your house never changed and as I grow older I think that is a constant factor I need to keep in my life.

You make me feel important, you make me feel needed! You are a part of one of the greatest support systems, that made me who I am today!

As I now begin to enter into adulthood, all I was to do is make you proud! Show you that all of the love you gave me did justice in this world.

I love you so much,

Your Loving Grandchild

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!
