Meet the Reporter: New Year's Resolution

No new resolutions, 12 grapes and packed suitcases.

Meet the Reporter: New Year's Resolution
by Fernanda Ruiz

Last year went by so fast and is already the end of January when I realized I didn't set any resolutions for me this year. Although, I'm not the type of person who makes resolutions. If I make them I struggle at accomplishing them. I tend to set goals to myself every now and then. Short term goals. Yes, I do have long-term goals and every day there's something to remind me about it, keep working hard.

Particularly, I think is not in my family's tradition to make New Year resolutions. However, we do have some Mexican traditions to welcome the new year. Things like walking out with a suitcase, eating 12 grapes, wearing colorful underwear, etc. This year, as soon as the clock turned 12 my aunt and I decided to walk out with a suitcase full of clothes (as the tradition requires it). This tradition symbolizes that for the rest of the year you will be traveling more than the past year. Our hope is to make that happen and visit more places in Mexico like Guadalajara, San Miguel de Allende, Puebla, etc. Away from the north, the side of Mexico we are used to be at.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

We work our tails off to be the best, but sometimes the stress can just tear you apart. Here are some struggles faced by business majors that will sound all too familiar.

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.
