Dolly Parton inspires us in more way than one, especially during the month of love.

This Month Of Love, Give For The Love Of Dolly

Do you watch tv? Of course, we all do because of its part of how we keep ourselves entertained. Did you watch the Grammy's? Did you see all the entertainers perform? They were wild and crazy. All the entertainers there, in my opinion, deserved a Grammy for all their hard work and the music that they perform all year round every year.

There is one person that we don't hear from much anymore and that is Dolly Parton. She is a wonderful and talented lady and I believe that no matter who you are, you should be inspired by the work she has done over the years. We should not only be inspired, but try to be like her in our own way. She is one special and talented lady. She has many famous quotes to look back on that can touch us in different areas of our lives. One of the quotes I wanted to touch on is "if you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one." This can touch us no matter if we are twenty or sixty-five. Like they said at the Grammy's, this is how Dolly made her career so influential. No one was forcing her to stay where she was at and to feel miserable, because that's not how life should be. Only we can take control of our own lives--no one can dictate our dreams besides us.

There are many names that we don't hear much anymore in the news or for the great work they do in communities around the United States. Why is Dolly so influential? She is the Founder of the Dollywood Foundation which funds money to the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. What does this foundation do exactly? This foundation provides books to pre-schooled age children every month. She is not only receiving awards and taking credit for the hard work she puts into it but she also gives back to the community and isn't selfish with her money like some celebrities can be. Many of them just take the credit and we don't hear much of the greater deeds that they might do for others. It just slides under the rug!

For the love of Dolly, be inspired and do great things for others and your community. No matter how big or small!

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.
