To The Man Who Became My Granddaddy Unexpectedly

You may not have always been there beside me, but I'd be lost without you now.

To The Man Who Became My Granddaddy Unexpectedly

Dear Papa,

More and more when I single out the who has inspired me the most I cant help but think of you. My Grandfather.

I've had a great grand father. We used to do many great things together but all great things always come to an end. For years, I wondered if I'd ever had me a papa or pawpaw again and didn't really think it would ever happen. I needed someone to show me how to fish, correctly. Or teach me how to go hog hunting or even just show up at my house and help me and my daddy fix the air conditioner.

My mamaw is something great. She's been through a whole lot and Im so glad she found you. From the moment we met you to the moment she said she was gonna marry you. I knew all my dreams of having you in my family as my grand daddy were coming true. Now, dont get me wrong you are crazy as hell but you love me and treat me and my brother like we are your blood. There's no one else Id want to love and encourage us daily.

Although, I've only known you for about two years you have made a huge impact on my life. You may not know this but Im so happy you came into my life when you did. Thank you for everything you do. From cooking every other weekend to taking me and bubba on trips and making us smile the whole time. I love you to the moon and past the stars and wouldn't want anyone else to be my grand daddy. You are a very special person in my life and I wanted you to know this.


Love, Your Granddaughter

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.
