This One Goes To My Best Friend

I know that this will be all you'll talk about for the rest of my life.

This One Goes To My Best Friend
Maria Perez

Dear bestie,

I honestly don't know where to begin. You know how horrible I am with expressing my feelings. I just want to start off by saying that I never expected to be super close to you when we first moved into college freshman year. You just a stranger who was randomly assigned to the same room as me. It wasn't until we shared our mutual love for The Wanted that we started hanging out more. You soon became my number one concert buddy due to all of the concerts we went together. Once our first year of college ended, you were one of my best friends.

Over the years, we've had our share of memories. All of those road trips to other states just to go to a concert (getting stranded in the middle-of-nowhere New Jersey was the worst). Our last minute decisions to go several tapings of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and "Saturday Night Live." And there are so much more.

You have become a part of my family over the past couple of years. My parents love to refer to you as the "adopted daughter." I always consider as my sister. We may argue and get mad at each other, we're able to talk it out and apologize. We've been able to vent about whatever is bothering us without any judgment whatsoever. We've seen each other cry. We've watched each other's back for the past three to four years.

With only two months left before we graduate college, it's weird to think that we won't be seeing each other every single day. I just want to thank you for being there for all these years. That you were able to put up with my anger problems and sudden mood swings. You've made it a one-of-a-kind college experience that I wasn't expecting. It'll be weird trying to maintain a long-distance friendship, but I'm sure we'll make it work.

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!
