Freshman Year

First week of freshman year: Alright, this is it. I am in college. I will be responsible. I will do all my homework. I will go to every single on of my classes. I will work out. And I will have a healthy social life.

A month into it: Ugh, I missed my 8 a.m. for like the twentieth time this semester. AM I SERIOUSLY FAILING THIS CLASS?? WHAT DID I DO WRONG? Oh, right.... I never went to class.

College (or life) never goes the way you plan it. You party way too much and sleep in even more. Everything is out of whack because you are in control. And if you choose to mess up, you get to. Because your parents aren't there to punish you.

Maybe you end up on academic probation, so you promise yourself to be better the next year.

Sophomore Year

You know how you made that promise to do better? JUST KIDDING. You kinda do it. You still party way too much, you stay up way too late and miss class far too often. But it's good, your GPA is looking good. You got this!

Junior Year

This is the year you kind of have to become an adult, even though you don't feel like it. You feel the pressure of the real world coming at you but you don't really know what to do. Your resume doesn't fill up to half the page! So you start to stress out about getting a job after graduation and paying off your loans. About 69% of you wants to quit and hide from the government because... loans.

Senior Year

Oh no! It's almost time for graduation! You kind of never want to graduate but on the other end, you can't wait to get f**k out of this town. You have work, internships, applications, and just life in general... but no time to relax. You think to yourself, "Is this what rest of my life will be like from now on?". But it's okay because you're about to graaaaadduuuuaaateeee!

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!
