An Open Letter To All My Friends

For all the people I will never forget.

An Open Letter To All My Friends
David Flynn

Throughout my life, I have come across many people who have a great impact on my life. They are people who I can rely on, people who I created amazing memories with, they are people I call my friends. Without these people in my life, I would probably not be the outgoing spirit I am today. I would not be as happy as I am without you guys. So here it goes, everything I have to say to all my friends:

Whether we talk on a daily basis, once every few months, or not at all; please know I still think about you and all the great times we had/have. I wonder how you are doing at school, work and just life in general. I think about the life you are building for yourself and hope you are living the life you deserve. You were and still are an important part of me and you are nothing I will ever forget. Whether we left off on bad terms or drifted apart, for whatever reason, you are still my friend.

Thank you for supporting me through stages of my life when I needed an extra boost of confidence. Thank you for making me feel free and myself whenever we were together. Thank you for being an escape from reality or the person I need/needed to vent to when reality got tough. Friends are meant to lift you up when times get hard. Thanks for being able to relate to what I have going on in my life, that way I don't feel like I am the only one.

I want you to know I am always going to be there for you no matter what. When you feel lost or alone, please know there is someone who cares for you and wants what’s best for you. Please know I do not care how long it has been since we have talked, I still love you and the person you are becoming. I treasure you and the relationship we have because that will never be lost.

Life is a rollercoaster, so how can you enjoy the ride when there is no one to enjoy it with (cheesy quote, I know). I cannot go through life giving up on friendships I have. Life is too much fun and too short to forget a person who was a monumental part of me. Thank you for being a part of the rollercoaster called life with me (yep, there was another one). Without you, I honestly don’t know how I would survive. Thank you for being a special part of me.

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!
