One Year Down, Three More To Go

My freshman year has flown by!

With this semester winding down, I am still in complete shock that my freshman year is coming to a close. Whoever said time flies when you are having was definitely right! Going into college, I was extremely nervous. Being on my own was something I truly have never done before. Going to college has been one of the best experiences of my life. Being independent was a challenge at first (like learning how to do my laundry on my own) but after a few weeks, I got the hang of it.

I was so blessed to have found the friends I did. The friends that I made at college will without a doubt leave a lifelong impact on me. They have been through my best and worst times at college with me and I’m so grateful for that.

I want to thank my parents for pushing me to go to college. School has never been something I have enjoyed but college has changed that for me. I don't enjoy the whole getting up at 8 am to go to class, but I do enjoy the whole aspect of school more so than I have in the past. So thank you mom and dad for helping me take this giant step in my life. I am enjoying myself (not partying too hard!), making a lot of friends, and getting ready to finish off this year strong.

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!
