Not over pack.

I personally am a repeat offender of this. Even when I have gone home for just a weekend I find myself packing way more than I need. I plan out an outfit for everyday, bring all my makeup and then end up in sweatpants every day.


Do your homework.

Even though we think that home means that we are scott free of responsibilities unfortunatly this is not true. If you are worried about this try doing your homework before you go home for break or bring it with you and when you are just hanging around in your sweatpants (which you will be) try to cram some in.


Account for a long distance drive.

For those of you who might not live that close to campus, here are a few tips for you. Remember to fill your gas tank all the way up because who wants to risk getting caught in traffic and not having gas. You should always check your tire pressure because driving with low air in your tires is dangerous

Lock your dormroom door.

There's really not much to this one unless you want all your valuables stolen. we know they all do not come home with us so you should lock your door
Make sure all your outlets are unplugged-even if we think leaving our fridge on is a good idea because then we wont have to bring home all that food home /throw it out.

This last one is pretty much a given for everyone everywhere!

BRING LOTS OF SNACKS FOR ANY KIND OF TRIP YOU'RE MAKING!

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.
