Fingerprints are an "impression made on the surface of somebody’s fingertip, especially used for identifying individuals from the unique pattern of whorls and lines." Everybody in the world has different fingerprints and no two are the same. Just like fingerprints, each person in this world has a different answer to what brings meaning to his or her life. However, we all have a fingerprint and we all have something to be passionate about, even if they are different.The thought of loving others, loving yourself, as well as being loved, in return brings meaning and happiness to my life. The love that people have for one another amazes me. The love between a family, mother and her child, siblings, friends, or even your soul mate is a relationship filled with passion. A mother has so much love for her child that she would do anything in her power to keep her child safe, even if it means putting her own life at risk. Friends who love each other would go to the ends of the earth to see that person happy. Somebody who loves themselves accepts their flaws and doesn’t depend on anybody else for their happiness. The love between two soul mates is such a beautiful thing; it is like two magnets being pulled together. They are consumed with so much love for each other that they want to spend the rest of their lives with that person “for better or for worse, through sickness and through health.” Everybody has flaws and imperfections, nobody is perfect, but somebody falls in love with that person and loves all of their flaws and imperfections. When somebody’s happiness is your happiness, that is love. Showing love towards others, being loved in return, and loving myself for who I am gives my life meaning.

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!
