The One That Got Away

Sometimes "forever" feels like it's not enough time.

"Forever?"

"Forever and ever."

Shared smiles as they hold hands taking in the beautiful sunset.

Long car drives to nowhere just so they could spend more time together.

That first kiss and the way their nose wrinkled when they smiled afterwards.

Every free moment in life belongs to spending time with them, feeling on top of the world.

Grocery store trips become way more fun with them.

Feeling like nothing on earth could break them.

"I love you."

"I love you more."

Months fly by, in which they create endless nights full of adventure and laughter.

They paint the world with bright colors through their love for each other.

Memory after memory.

The first fight and the way they both cried afterwards.

More memories.

More promises towards the future.

Deep conversations, completely sharing minds and hearts.

More fights.

"Do you still love me?"

"I always will."

Long talks.

Treasuring every touch, in fear of losing them.

More memories.

Short drives because they are tired.

A sunset that is nowhere to be seen.

No nose wrinkles after the kiss.

Seeing each other when they have a chance.

One last fight.

One last talk.

One last kiss.

Lonely walks alone down the grocery store aisles.

Everything around them breaks them.

Reminding them of the memories.

'I still love them."

"I think I love them more than they love me."

Months fly by.

The beauty from the world is lost.

Tears shed.

Long, lonely nights.

Months pass.

More colors are added to the world.

Someone else asks them about their past relationship, they smile.

"Sometimes forever doesn't actually last forever, and that is okay."

"We lived fearlessly. I don't regret it."

They will never meet anyone like each other for the rest of their lives.

But luckily every sunset is different and beautiful.

Luckily there will be more moments in life that will be treasured.

The world is full of promises.

Too many for all of them to last forever.

"I love what we had."

"I always will."

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!
