Everyone be jealous because I am in LA right now living the life ;) I’ve been here for two days and I love it already, I definitely should have taken my college counselor's advice and gone to school here but whatever. Anyway, I’m here to tell you what you should do during this precious 7-day long break.

1. Go somewhere warm.

Or if you are somewhere warm already stay there. You and your body need it after this horrendous winter we just had/ are still having

2. Walk a lot.

It just makes the trip and the break even better because you are getting to know the place you are that much better

3. Eat a lot!

The best part of life is eating if we are being honest right now. And it will make your break worth it :) I have found amazing restaurants here and hope to find even more to make my life amazing

4. Go to the beach.

Because the truth is that spring break was made to go to the beach

5. Pet some dogs.

Your dog, your friends’ dogs, a stranger’s dog and any single dog really. They will love it and so will you

6. Drink.

If you can legally do it wherever you are, drink. Live it up!

7. Visit friends.

Maybe spring break is the one week of the year when you can visit friends that go to other schools or live farther away from you. Reconnect, that's important

8. Sleep in!

Even though during school you get to sleep in sometimes and during the weekend it just doesn't feel the same like sleeping in for a whole week when you don’t actually have to do anything

9. Go to the movies.

I watched "The Brothers Grimsby" and it was stupid funny, definitely recommend it a lot. So go to the movies and go crazy watching movies

10. Have interesting conversations.

Meet new people or have interesting conversations with your family and friends, learn new things that are not school related, it'll be fun

11. Get some jogging in.

With the nice weather you know you will think about running outside, BUT don't just think about it. Actually do it, it'll be worth it.

So yeah, there are some good things to do this break everyone, enjoy and relax!

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.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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!

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
