The Days After Graduation

As we go our separate ways, you will always share a special place in my heart.

The Days After Graduation

And just like that, the best four years of my life have come to an end. Another chapter in my life has ended, while another is starting. This city will hold a special place in my heart. It's a place where I met some of many close friends, and a city where I have created many memories that I will cherish forever. I feel like it was yesterday we were freshmen in a brand new city all on our own. Its amazing to look back the past four years and see how much we have matured. The people we have met, the friends who started with you and ended with you and the friends that left.

We probably all have complained about about being here. Constantly questioning why we chose this school. But thats what made our college experience great. The good memories, and of course the bad ones, the ones we wish we will forget, yet we still laugh at them.

We owe our school a lot. It was the school that brought us together. It was the place that made us realize what we were meant to do. It is the place that taught us many valuable life lessons, the good and bad.It was a place where we had nights that we wanted to quit everything, yet the place that told us not too. It's the place that taught us that we can call two places home.

We've made it to the finish line, congratulations!. Now we are faced with saying goodbye. Saying goodbye to the friends who have been with you through the ups and downs. Whether you're leaving or them, seeing them everyday, crashing at their dorm room, the walks to residential dining, and endless coffee runs are now a memory. They are the ones you shared the bottle of wine with. Just remember, the real friends will keep in touch, so there's nothing to be worried about.

I wish you all the best as we go our separate ways. I wish I can press pause and stay with you guys forever, creating more memories. But we must start making our dreams a reality.

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. Words can't thank you enough for everything you have done. You have all grown up to be such amazing people and I was lucky enough to see it first hand. Although you're leaving, and I am staying, I know you're always a phone call away, I know I have all the pictures, and the memories close to my heart. As I cry, know they are tears of happiness, because I am so lucky to have met you. I am lucky to call you my friend. You're a permanent addition to my life.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

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!
