Hey there,

First of all, thanks for taking the chance on us. You might not have known what you were getting yourself into. You stuck around though.

Dating the girl with divorced parents is an uphill battle. Its a constant fight to make her believe that true love exists and that someone will stay. You are fighting every preconceived idea she has about love.

You see, when she was young, she realized that her parents weren't soulmates. They weren't a couple that she looked up to and one day hoped to be just like. This made her dreams of finding a Prince Charming seem unattainable. When she entered the dating world, she saw no hope in every finding a "good guy." She became pessimistic towards love and relationships. Until you came along..

You fought, and will continue to fight, to give her hope. You intoxicate her world with "I love you" but she will always have a shred of doubt. There will be many long talks about faithfulness and how that one thing you said one time might possibly be because you don't love her. Even the smallest of things can cause an avalanche of fear. That's what she knows.

Dating this girl will never be easy, but teaching her to fully trust you will be a reward unlike any other. Don't take her love for granted. Realize that you are teaching this girl how to love the right way and make sure she knows how you feel. When she finally opens up, you will be her everything. Don't give up on her, because she's trying.

Sincerely, the girl who comes from divorced parents.

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!
