What I'm Thankful For

It's close to the time of year again where families gather and eat and say or list the things they're thankful for, so I figured I would start early.

What I'm Thankful For
Anna Thompson


I'm thankful for my family. They have been there for me through all of my breakups, mistakes, mishaps, and tribulations. No matter how many times I've messed up, they're right around the corner telling me that it's okay and to be better next time. My family has never given up on me and never will. They're my biggest fan and supporter and I am truly grateful for that.

I'm thankful for my close friends. My friends listen to my complaining about how annoying my family can get and reply with "They love you and they're just trying to help you out." Friends have been there to hold me as I was sobbing and was beside myself because my boyfriend had just broken up with me or a family member had died. My friends have stayed through all the drama and are always a phone call away when I need or want them.

I'm thankful for my dogs. They are the sweetest refresher after a long day. My dogs will jump up in my lap and lick my face because they can tell I haven't had the best day. They growl and "talk" to me because they want me to pay attention to them. They crack me up and I couldn't imagine life without them.

Lastly, I'm thankful for my boyfriend. He may drive me crazy, but he loves me and only wants the best for me. He pushes me to be the best I can be and never lets me give up. He dries my tears when I'm upset and tickles me when I'm mad. My life would be boring and empty without him.

With so many things to complain about, there are many more things to be thankful for, and these are just a few.

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!
