For An Amazing Grandmoter

Don't let the Parkinson's get to you.

You have been there my entire and you have inspired me my entire life. Nana, you played the Mom and Dad role to my Aunt , Uncle, and Mom. You didn't let anyone get in your way.

When you were diagnosed with cancer and then Parkinson's it was like a bomb went off in our family because nobody knew what was happening. You were the rock for so long and now we have to take over and keep us together like glue.When I was born you never thought you could love someone as much as you loved me.

The day I was born you didn't believe my mom, but it was completely true. I was in fact born in a car. Your Parkinson's has defiantly put a different outlook on how our family works because we never know how you are going to feel on any given day. So we have to chance it and hope for the best.

Since you moved to Rocky hill you are not a five-minute drive down the road if we want to come and visit. It is now a 30-minute car ride via the highway or the back roads. I am your first grand child and you have taught me so much over the years. You are my mom's life support and when you are gone I have no clue what she will do.

Before you were diagnosed you were always at my house and you helped my mom whenever she needed it. Nana thank you for being the best mom and dad to my mommy she is the best person because of you. I love you to the moon and back. Don't let the Parkinson's get to you.

Parkinson's is an awful thing that just happened to invade your life.You always try and have a positive outlook on life that will carry with me for the rest of my days.

Love your first Grandchild ,

Maggie

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!
