Never Forget

To embrace the times spent with the ones you love most

Never Forget

Often we as humans forget to remind ourselves just how precious our family and friends are. We value their presence, enjoy their company, but forget to truly appreciate the times spent with them. Though life is beautiful, it comes with a price. No matter how much we try to convince ourselves that we are invincible to the harsh realities of life, we are not. With every triumph comes tragedy. That is why we must never take our loved ones for granted.


We must remember to always cherish the times spent with our family and friends because we never know when it will be our last. We must always tell our loved ones just how much they mean to us because that could very well be our final time. We must always enjoy the memories made because life is simply too precious.

Tragedies happen everyday yet we as humans do not think they can happen to us. Sadly, they do. That is why we must always be mindful of life for all that it truly is. It brings us great everlasting joy, but it can also bring us great sadness.

So embrace the time you have with friends and family. Show them your love and remind them how thankful you are for them each and everyday. We only have one life to live, we must make every second count.

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!
