The Butterflies Of Summer End

Summer is not over, only close.

The Butterflies Of Summer End
Joseph M Foster

This is the specific time of a very special episode within a year, when an awkward feeling of change occurs; the beloved bitter end of summer. The timely holidays have come and gone. Placing us in the mind state to fully embrace the final weeks of this season, one that is recognized to be idolized for the majority days of the others.

The beloved summer isn’t quiet over, but close. The sun is still shinning, bright and hot high in the sky, but this is not to last long. A great portion of this chapter has past, and we have finally gotten use to this fantasy way of life: three months absent from some partial aspects of our routine responsibilities that dominate a majority of the year. We can finally be free from the classroom; hassling with snow and freezing weather; debating with yourself on what multilayer outfit to choose; free from the sunsets that seem premature. Life seems easier in the summer. Now that this is almost over, focus begins to shift to what is next and incoming, we have finally mastered the practices to utilize the the current period which we reside.

The final weeks of summer are a time to understand what it means to live as we should— optimally and to the fullest. It's also a time to excited for the shift that is inevitable. It is also a time to be excited for the shift that is inevitable.

Back to school season will soon be upon us. The fuss of football and basketball season will greet us with the simultaneous end of baseball, and all the while a consistent change will be dramatically brewing in the scheme of the weather. Holidays are about to have a much different, more sentimental meaning, a time to be surrounded by loved ones and optimistically look into the future.

The feeling is weird and aggressive; when everything we came to know is suddenly all about to end. This sensation becomes physical as its reality gets closer and the appropriate preparation is then, in turn—mandatory.

Once we comprehend that our feelings are a resistance to change, we begin to feel accustomed to the matter. The buzz of all of this, begins to get exciting — we begin to recognize our bliss. The nerves arise with the end to the comfort of consistency, and with time we become a new person in a new environment. With a few weeks of transition, we will once again be in the loving arms of a habitual season opposite to that of todays, happily doing whatever makes that phase within the year so unique and utterly special.

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!
