The Struggles Of Being Directionally Challenged

I knew I had a problem when I would get lost on the way to my own house. I knew I had a problem when I grew up in a city I couldn’t navigate without my GPS to save my life. Here are 11 struggles of being directionally challenged.

1. None of your friends want to drive with you because they want to be there on time

2. Turning down the music to focus on directions

3. Nobody wants to be in an operating vehicle with you because you genuinely have no idea what’s going on

4. You took the highway and got off at the exit after the correct one and so you had to drive for about ten minutes before there was an option to make a U-turn and now you're angry

5. There has been multiple emotional breakdowns on the road after missing your turn

6. You use landmarks as points in which you must turn but when you come from a different direction you are suddenly so very lost

7. You cannot help direct anybody to anywhere because you literally just don’t know

8. When your relatives come to town and you have to whip out your GPS in your own neighborhood

9. When you’ve been down the same road for more than 20 times but you still use Maps because you can never be too sure

10. Getting lost in every single apartment complex you've ever entered

11. Thinking about whether you're directionally challenged or just blind

If you can relate to any of these I will send a prayer your way. God bless the directionally challenged; may your GPS always be speedy and your gas always affordable.

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!
