Face it, we've all had people cancel plans with us sometime or another. Sometime's aren't as bad as other times. But what do you do when you were really looking forward to hanging out with a friend and they bail on you? Instead of freaking out and going to bed (like we want to do). Here's what you should do.

Go work out

Go to the gym and burn off some steam! Nothing will make you feel better than working out physically, mentally, and spiritually. What better way in saying "Hey you're a crappy friend" than going to the gym and working on becoming better.

Hangout with someone else

Call up that long lost friend that you haven't seen in a while and see if they want to go see that new movie that just came out. Make sure to add that your friends bailed on you to make them feel bad.

Go talk to your mom or dad

No matter what happens with you and your friends, your parents will always be on your side. They will make you feel better and probably cook you food if you tell them your friends bailed. Then they'll tell you how they've never liked that friend anyways.

Eat yourself to happiness

Go grab yourself your favorite snack and watch your favorite show on Netflix. I know it's not as fun and as hanging out with your friends would've been but they bailed, so they suck.

Go do whatever you were going to do with them, by yourself

Being in college I've learned that its cool to be by yourself and do things by yourself. You can go eat by yourself, shop by yourself and see a movie by yourself. Who needs anyone else when you have yourself? Anyone who judges you for being by yourself is missing out on life because being by yourself is great.

Although your friend just bailed on you, you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they really did have something else important to do, or maybe they really didn't feel well. I'm not saying to stop being friends with them because they bailed, I'm saying don't get all worked up and upset on them bailing. There will be other times when they won't bail and you'll do whatever it is that you want to do.

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.
