A Letter To My Best Friend

You are the Sun and I am the moon, I only exist through you.

A Letter To My Best Friend
https://www.pexels.com

You are constantly telling me about the beautiful ways that words flow from my brain and into my hand, then into the pen that I write with. I am sitting here dumbfounded, with no words to explain how much you mean to me.

We talk about the sun in the sky and the way it melts into the horizon. We discuss the way the sun exhibits emotions with more power than we could ever imagine. Amongst these small conversations that we never think twice about, you are more beautiful than the sun could ever be. You light up my days even when there are rain clouds cast all throughout my vision. Your words of encouragement break through my dark and gloomy thoughts in the same manner that the sun peaks through storm clouds in early spring. I bet that in the tiny, pointless conversations about how breathtaking the sunset was that evening, you would have never imagined that you are the sun in my eyes.

After the sun is no longer held proudly in the sky every evening, we talk about the clear sky and the presence of the moon. We are held breathless at the way the moon can scare away the demons of the night without even trying. I will always be there in the middle of the night as a safe haven to remind you that the night will not last forever. I will keep away your demons, and keep that million dollar smile upon your face. You are the Sun and I am the Moon, I only exist through you.

You have always been the only person to believe in me, even when I had not believed in myself. You coach me through the darkest of times and encourage me to stand back up when I have been knocked down. You help me stand on two feet, even when I am convinced that I can do things on my own. I stumble and fall from time to time, yet you are always there to re-balance me and get me back to where I need to be. Life is a balancing act, and even though we are opposite in many ways, we cancel each other out to find easy ground.

I don't know whether to write lines of what you mean to me, or write many thank yous. You have made me a better person. You were the map that led me to finding myself. I was an object that I had thought was lost forever, and would never see the light of day. Just like I had stated before, you are the sun, and I would have never had to step outside to feel the sunshine.

You have been with me through thick and thin. You're the only one who understands that I will always push back no matter how hard I have been hit. You are the one I can constantly make sarcastic comments to and not be seen as judgmental or rude. All I can simply say is, thank you. I wouldn't be the person who I am today if it weren't for you. I love you.

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!
