A Thank You To My Grandparents

Grandma and grandpa, I can never thank you enough for everything you've ever done for me.

To the grandparents who have loved, supported, and cared for me all of my life. They are the people that matter most to me and I am so lucky to have the coolest and most generous grandparents around me. They have helped shape me into the women I am today because of the role they played and the impact they have made in my life. I have three grandparents left on this earth. I have one deceased, and one who shut us out of her life, and that has taught me to never take a second for granite with the grandparents I have around. Before my first grandparent passed away, his family was his entire world and that is something I will always remember the most about him.The grandparents I have now have more than made up for the one that was absent most of my life and for that I am forever grateful for them. When I was younger I took them for granted but as I have gotten older they are become an important part of my life that I don't know what I would do without them one day.

1. Thank you for the birthday calls every year.

I look forward to our talks, even on random days when you'd butt dial me.

2. Thank you for listening to me talk about anything and everything.

Even the small stuff, you always stayed invested.

3. Thank you for supporting every decision I made and standing by my side.

No matter what.

4. Thank you for making the best home cooked meals.

And making sure I never leave hungry.

5. Thank you for shaping my parents into amazing people.

I also could not live without them.

6. Thank you for putting your family before you.

You taught me what it is like to be kind to the people around you.

7. Thank you for being the coolest grandparents.

I can laugh with you endlessly, be silly in front of, and have fun with.

8. Thank you for showing each of your grandchildren how much they are loved and adored by you.

We love just as much as you love us!

9. Thank you for being there through the hard times.

They weren't always easy, but you made them a little better.

10. Thank you for showing me how to be strong.

And teaching me to never give up on anything.

I will never be able to fully express how much I am thankful for my grandparents because they've done more things for me that I could have ever imagined. Thank you for being involved in our lives, even through the long distance. Thank you for everything.

I love you both so much.

Love,

your granddaughter.

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"
