Pick Music That Will Pump You Up

Giphy

No one wants to listen to sad music on their way to work or school in the morning when they are struggling to stay awake. They want something that will pump them up and wake them up on their way. So whether it's a song you like to sing from the top of your lungs or a pop song that you secretly like, add it to your playlist and I promise you will not regret it.

Mix It Up

Giphy

Sometimes it can be hard to get out of your usual style of music you like to listen to, but it doesn't hurt to give other genres and artists a shot. You'd be surprised what songs and artists become your newfound favorites.

Update It Often

Giphy

The same song that pumped you up last month doesn't have the same energetic feel to it like it used to. Not only that, but you will also be discovering new music, which will lead to a shakeup in this playlist. Make sure to stay organized and clean it out every now and then.

Make Sure It Is Long Enough

Giphy

Whether your commute is five minutes or over an hour, make sure it's long enough for your commute and then some so that way there is some variety to the songs you listen to. No one likes it when there is still ten minutes left in your commute and you have nothing left to listen to.

Don't forget to click shuffle on the playlist as you leave the house and enjoy your commute a little more than what you usually would.

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.

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.
