College is such a great time in your life.

It’s full of freedom, spontaneous adeventures, and doing basically whatever we feel like doing. When in college your groups of friends always include different people. You have the partiers, the nerds, the jocks, the mom friendsand the one special friend in the group the “Not the Mom Friend.”

If you’re not lucky enough to be that friend here’s what it’s like being that friend:

1. You have to text your friends your symptoms to make sure you’re not dying every time you have the slightest cough.

2. You don’t stop your friends from skipping class.

3. Your roommates usually telling you to make sure you're wearing a coat.

4. Uber is your go-to ride anywhere.

5. You’ve heard “What are you wearing?” more times than you can count.

6. 2 a.m. is a reasonable bedtime for you.

7. Any class before 11 a.m. is out of the question for you.

8. You consider Ramen noodles or mac-n-cheese bites a meal.

9. Napping is not just a luxury, it’s scheduled into your day.

10. You’re the mom friend's biggest nightmare.

11. You don’t think twice about skipping class.

12. Spending $20 at the grocery store is unreasonable to you but, $20 at McDonalds is always okay.

13. You forget about getting important things like gas for your car.

14. Tardiness is justifiable with Starbucks

15. Your laundry has been dirty for three weeks.

16. Or has been clean but sitting in a basket for two weeks.

17. You hear “don’t touch that” at least fifteen times a day.

18. The word “No” brings literal tears to your eyes.

19. Being responsible is hard for you.

20. When you actually HAVE to be the “Mom friend” you respect them a lot more because you realize dealing with 12 of you is the definition of hell.

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!
