When It Rains, It Pours.
Coffee and Crazy Blog

I've now been sick for 3 weeks and I'm completely OVER it. All of my friends had bronchitis earlier this month. I thought I was safe from it, since I didn't get sick for a few days after they were all better. Then all of a sudden, BOOM. I was down and out for the count. I really hate to miss school. and I definitely missed some school this time around. I was finally starting to feel better, but then I developed a completely different cold right in the middle of the day. Now I'm just dying on the couch. Here are some of the things I'm thinking about as I waste away!

1. My head feels like it's the size of a hot air balloon.

2. I'm glad I bought the tissues with Vick's in them.

3. Thank God for Vaseline. I would die of the evil cracked nose without it.

4. I wonder when my voice will quit sounding like a pubescent teenage boy's voice.

5. Nyquil has failed me. Why am I still awake? I just want to sleeeeeep.

6. Wait, you want me to go to work sick? I suppose I'm a real adult now.

7. It really stinks to not be able to smell. (haha, see what I did there?)

8. Class was the worst. I couldn't sit there without quivering from trying not to cough.

9. Don't look at my nose! I know it's cracked and red.

10. I wish I could taste my dinner.

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.
