We're all busy. This is true. But below are a few things we should all spend a little more time doing. It just might be exactly what we needed.

  1. Sleeping. Obviously. 2. Reading. Reading is so underrated. Not only is it actually interesting and fun if you have a good book, but it’s also a good way to de-stress and better to do before bed than watching TV or scrolling through twitter.3.Doing yoga. Yoga is great and it’s not just for girls. Another great way to de-stress and work out at the same time. Two birds with one stone?4.Making healthy food. It will make you feel better and keep you healthy. Spending the extra 20 minutes/day making lunch/dinner instead of stopping at the dining hall or fast food restaurant can have dramatic effects on health later in life.5.Napping. Same as 1, but not at night time. Just needs to happen more often.(freestocks.com)
    6.Talking to parents or friends from home. They miss us. They deserve our time too. Even though days may be busy, we owe it to them to keep in touch.
    7. Volunteering. I know it's hard to find time even for ourselves sometimes, but there are always people who need help more than ourselves, and it may make you feel more centered and less stressed.
    8. Meditating/listening to music. Take some time out of the day to just chill and reflect.

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!
