Thanksgiving Break: Take Advantage Of Your Time Off
inMyinterior.com

Although Winter Break is only a few weeks away, Thanksgiving Break is the first significant break that most of us get after summer. And when it comes to time off, we all have problems managing our time. Here is an easy way to love your break.

Monday: Homework. Everyone already hates Mondays, so this is a great way to get classwork out of the way, leaving the rest of the week for fun. Not to mention, you have the prior Saturday and Sunday to yourself.

Tuesday: Recover from homework with a lazy day. Maybe you have a lot to do and need to take Tuesday morning to finish up that AP term paper. After you're done, take the day to relax with a couple of your best friends: Hulu and Netflix. You can also spend time having your own spa day or reading your favorite book.

Wednesday: Clean. Everything. If you have friends or family coming over, it's time to get out some gloves and a big bottle of all-purpose cleaner. You want that house looking spic-and-span for those Instagram photos.

Thursday: Enjoy the Holiday. Make some good food, and share some laughs with your family. Just avoid talking about the election. Just don't risk it.

Friday: Go shopping, if you want. While I'm not too big of a Black Friday fan, if you do go shopping, take some time to sort out your gifts, and take it easy on cooking the next day. I'm sure you have plenty of leftovers.

Saturday/Sunday: Everything else. Spend time with family, meet up with some friends, and do any last minute studying. Feel free to pull out the Christmas lights too, since it's finally acceptable.

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!
