I hope this list will help you learn how to live your best life. Enjoy!

  1. Get More Sleep: This one may seem silly and incredibly obvious but I find that when I get more sleep, I am less stressed and down about life. When I really get a good night’s sleep, it sets me up for a better day.
  2. Spend Time With People Who Lift You Up: Surround yourself with upbeat and positive people, their good energy will rub off on you and will help you to live a better life. It is good to find people who can lift you up and support you when you need it the most. These people can come in the form of friends, family, or any other loved ones in your life.
  3. Stop Caring About What Other People Think: This one is hard but it is SO important because at the end of the day, the only person whose opinion matters about yourself is YOURS. It is YOUR life, live it the way that you want to. Be smart about it but as long as you are happy, it is ok.
  4. Spend More Time Outside: This can be as simple as walking to work, if possible, or just taking a second and sitting outside on a nice day. Enjoy the fresh air and soak up the sunshine.
  5. Put Down Your Phone: There are too many distractions in the world and phones are one of them, put it down and enjoy life. Notice the little things. Embrace what is around you. If you can, try to put it down for a little bit of time each day.
  6. Read a Good Book: Find a book that you have been meaning to read and sit down and actually read it. Find one that interests you and give it a try. Reading is a great way to clear your mind and enter the world of another person.
  7. Create a List of What You Love About Your Life: Write down the things about your life that make you happy, start with two or three and add to it as time goes on. You will be amazed at what can make you happy.
  8. Laugh: Laughter is the best medicine. It is always great when you laugh so hard that you cry from something that is so funny.
  9. Worry Less: This one is especially hard for me but I am working on it. I have realized that worrying is not worth it sometimes. Getting yourself sick over something so little is so unnecessary sometimes. Learning how to let things go is better for your health.
  10. Smile More: Smiling is the best way to make yourself feel better, smile and embrace life. Learn how to be your best self!

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!
