To My Little Sisters While I'm Away At College

The greatest gift our parents ever gave us was each other.

To My Little Sisters While I'm Away At College
Cadrien Livingston

Dear Little Sisters,

I know that I've been gone for a while now. You keep asking when I'm coming back from college and if I'll be home to visit soon. When I first left, you kept calling me every day to ask how college was going. I loved getting to hear your voice across the phone telling me how everything was going. I knew that I wouldn't miss home as much as I missed you. For the few times that I did come visit I always received a hug and, of course, you always wanted to tag along wherever I went. But, I didn't mind because while I was gone, I missed you and wanted to talk to you about all the things that had happened that I couldn't tell mom.

You were always eager to wrestle when I got back even though I always win! Questions like do you have a boyfriend, how is school, and what am I doing would always come up. Every time I come back, you get a little taller. I understood how much you missed me when you said you wanted me to come home because you were tired of being blamed for everything. I want you to know that I miss you very much and I wish I could see you grow up. I know that you wish I could make those special dates like your birthday or the Christmas concerts, but as much as skipping class is appealing, I can't even make an exception for you.

You are my best friend and even though I didn't want you when you first came along, I wouldn't change it for the world. While some say that you can't live with your enemy, you are the only enemy of mine that I wouldn't be able to live without. The greatest gift I ever got was you.

Sincerely,

Your Older Sibling That Likes To Boss You Around

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!
