Why Getting A Christmas Gift For Your Mom Is So Difficult

The most amazing woman in the world and all I can afford is a candle.

Mothers, what great human beings AM I RIGHT? It's the most wonderful time of the year, CHRISTMAS TIME. You search stores, you search online, you ask family members, but what do you get your beautiful mother for this beautiful holiday?

So, why is getting a Christmas gift for my mom so difficult?

My mom raised me, she spent endless nights with me until 3 am when I was too little to understand that she was sleep deprived and probably had dry puke on her shoulder (from me).

My mom put a roof over my head, she made sure I had everything I could ever need to be a healthy, happy child. She did everything in her power to make sure I was always safe and nothing was going to happen to me.

My mom went through life with me, what I mean by that is at the most difficult times my mom was right there to lean my head on, the person who wiped my tears and rubbed my back. She was also there for the great times in life, the times I was so happy and she was even happier. You know your mother loves you when your sadness is her sadness and your happiness is her happiness.

My mom is the most amazing, strong, beautiful woman I know. So, how can I possibly pick out a Christmas gift when this woman deserves the entire world but my bank account says I can only afford a candle? It's impossible to give this lady what she truly deserves. But I know this Christmas I will give her the unconditional love that she deserves, because there is no one more amazing than my mother, I am so thankful.


I love you, Mom. Thank you for everything.

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.
