Me And Post Trauma
Mind Body Network

At one point of their lives everyone has experienced that has made them to be more careful about future experiences. For example, post trauma is a scary thing such that it affects the way person's interactions and the way they view live in general. For those who been in car accidents, it may affect the way how a person drives. Depending on the severity of the accident, some may not to even drive or ride in a vehicle ever again. Recently I have been in a car accident, and it has made me not even wanting to drive through backroads again. Just the fact being in an accident made me question whether should I drive again or should I just move on and make sure that doesn't happen again. It caused me to have a flashback when a friend got into a wreck, and I was a passenger. I was riding on the way home from school, and my friend took a turn without looking and he was hit on his right side. His right rear was severely damaged. Luckily the SUV did not hit the door I was in , for it may not have been a good outcome. What took place made think about the "what ifs". I really didn't talk as much as I usually did for a week. It is common that some people don't care about other people's experiences until they are too effected by it. The post trauma is serious it does change lives. But it is up to the person experiencing it to whether make some negative or positive from the situation. Those who experience life threatening situations should not let those situations keep them down, for they have a lot to live for

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!
