39 Things We Forget

As a whole, there is so much we forget to do. Sometimes we even forget that we are human beings and that we are capable of doing so much more than we realize. These are a few things that are forgotten and should be remembered. These are also a few things that are forgotten and make life that much better.

1. Our keys, that’s when we have to jump through the window or call AAA.

2. Any and all birthdays until they are a day away.

3. Phone numbers, even sometimes our own.

4. Anniversaries – I feel like this is a big one for men.

5. Our phones, AKA our lives!

6. Money in our pockets before the clothes get washed.

7. Time – we never remember all the time we do or do not have.

8. Names of people we see once in a blue moon

9. Names of the family when you're pissed (In my family, it's Daihjon, Destinee, James, Tayiah, Jaiden, Bobby! Alina get over here, you knew what I meant!)

10. Friendships when we move from opportunity to opportunity.

11. Debit cards because wallets are just too organized.

12. Wallets because who can keep track of something that small.

13. Shoes because they never want to stay in a pair.

14. Clothing because they never end up where they are supposed to be.

15. Plans because one can only do so much.

16. How to match when in a rush because everything should be able to go together.

17. Homework – this one is self-explanatory.

18. Deadlines because more time should always be available, even when it's not.

19. To set the alarm because nobody wants to wake up.

20. Promises, because some are meant to be broken

21. Wishes because they always change with time.

22. Goals because they are either accomplished or changed.

23. Dreams because they are meant to be dreamt.

24. Sleep because we are so busy living life.

25. When to eat because food tastes better at midnight!

26. How long it takes to do things because we think we are Flash.

27. The stress before the vacation or trip because we get to have fun on it.

28. The fun we had on that trip that one year because of all the other adventures we are having.

29. To feed the cat because they sadly can’t feed themselves.

30. To take out the trash because we would rather have the house smell.

31. To do the dishes because paper plates always work so much better.

32. To have fun because sometimes work gets in the way.

33. To make the bed because we are just going to get back in it anyway.

34. To let the emotion out sometimes because we are always trying to seem stronger than we are.

35. To relax because our muscles are always going.

36. To breathe because sometimes we don’t realize how good it feels to do.

37. To live because everything is so busy existing.

38. To trust because everyone is not out to get you.

39. To love because it is the best feeling in the world.

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!
