Traveling For Holiday Breaks As Told By Buddy The Elf
Normons

Every year the holiday season rolls around and college students everywhere flock home to be with their families. The time leading up to the trip home can be quite hectic getting through security and through the masses of people that all seem to be traveling to the same place you are. But through all the hectic travel, Buddy The Elf here has summed up a few things about traveling that are all too true.

1. Saying bye to your friends before you leave. "Bye Buddy, hope you find your dad."


2. Forgetting to go to the bathroom before getting on the plane, so you have to use that tiny bathroom that's even too small for children.


3. When you don't know how to get your bag on the escalator, so you just have an awkward three steps in between you and your bag.



4. When TSA tells you they need you to step to the side because you have something suspicious on you.


5. When you can't afford the pricey airport food. Desperate times require desperate measures...

6. Daydreaming about all of the wonderful home-cooked meals you are going to have while home.


7. Telling your siblings and friends all that you're going to do once you get home!

8. Realizing halfway into your flight or drive you forgot something...


9. Small talk is key on flights home, especially when you're someone who forgot their headphones and needs to fill the awkward silence.

10. And finally, you make it home and all you want your family to know is that you love them.


Holiday breaks are wonderful and I hope this has made it an even brighter holiday for you!

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!
