To The Girl Who Never Stopped Smiling
Katie Lynn Owen

I know it's hard sitting there, watching your world break into a hundred different pieces and there's nothing you can do about it. Trust me, I've been there a million times. You would imagine that feeling like this would cause you to look sad and gloomy, but you just continue on with a smile on your face. You refuse to be weak and want to be nothing less than strong. You face many issues alone, but would do anything to see someone else smile. You're the girl that would brighten some else's day, even if you can't brighten your own.

No matter what was crashing down in your life, you simply just put it aside. I know you wanted to give up over a million times. You've spent numerous nights crying yourself asleep and then woke up with a smile on your face the next morning as if nothing even happened. That right there takes MAJOR strength.

Because that's just who you are...the girl that never stopped smiling.

You're the girl who comes off to be so strong, but little does everyone know, you feel so weak at times. You know there are numerous people that would kill to see you fall and the last thing you want to do is give them the satisfaction. So you continue to smile. You smile just to keep the tears from falling and sleep just so you don't have to think about it.

You continue smiling for all the people that have ever doubted you. You smile because fully live by the phrase "you never know whose day you could change just by smiling."

She's hurt, mentally and emotionally. But everyday, she walks with a smile on her face because that's just who she is: the girl who never stopped smiling.

You're allowed to scream, you're allowed to cry, but don't ever give up.

"God is within her, she will not fall. God will help her at the break of day." Psalm 46:5.

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!
