There Is Never Enough Time

It's difficult to get past your emotions and logically make the decision to make more time.

There Is Never Enough Time
Lorir Taylor

Certain moments in life have the power to take anyone by surprise. Usually those moments happen when least expected, and when there’s barely any time to devote to that moment. It can come in the form of family, work, school, personal friendships/relationships, etc. Practically anything and anyone has a chance to be this type of moment in life, and it’s difficult to determine what to do at that moment.

Maybe a family member has passed suddenly, a relationship with a significant other didn’t work out the way it was supposed to, or it could be as simple as school finals rearing their ugly head, all these types of events can lead to a moment of surprise. After that moment takes place the most difficult action comes next.

What to do next?

The emotions that take over a person’s mind, after experiencing their moment of surprise, can lead to an indecisive train of thought. It’s hard to make decisions when emotions are running high. That’s what these types of moments can do to a person. They change everything about life, and they also leave a reminder to the world. That reminder is that there never seems to be enough time.

Now that the moment has passed, emotions are dialed down, and logic has come back into the equation a lot of time has passed. That’s means that once again people reminded that there never seems to be enough time. It’s difficult to cope with such a reminder; however, I have a solution. The solution is that for someone to feel that there’s not enough time, they must put in the effort to make the time. The truth is that life will always be on the go, and even when life altering moments take some surprise, it doesn’t stop the cycle of life from moving forward.

The hard truth is that eventually everyone must move forward, and to do that, everyone must make the time to move forward. There truly is never enough time in the day. But we can’t dwell on that realization, if we do then we waste the time we have left. Once again the hard truth is simple. Put in effort to make time.

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!
