Why You Should Never Lose Your Flame
Razaberrys

You should never lose the passion that drives you to do something you love. You should never believe that your dreams are not good enough to achieve.

Everyone has a singular flame burning inside of them. It is the determination you hold and the motivation you have to achieve your hopes and dreams.

You should never lose your flame.

The flame that inspires you to keep moving forward day by day. Week by week. Month by month. Even year by year. To allow you to become that much closer to your end result. It becomes all the more sweeter when you get that much closer to it as time goes on. It will be worth the wait. It will be worth the effort. It will be worth the sweat, the tears, the pain, and everything else in between that it took you to get to that achievement. No matter what you go through in the process, your flame should never go out. There may be days where your flame is so bright that you feel unstoppable, but there will always be days where your flame will dwindle down to almost nothing. It's very easy to let a flame die down, but it takes love and perseverance to allow that flame to keep going no matter what. Once the flame goes out, it can be lit again, but it won't stay lit for long. It will only stay if you put everything you have into keeping it bright.

Your dream is to own your own restaurant one day? You better start planning that menu out now because you're going to have your restaurant. Your dream is to have children with the love of your life? Better start thinking of names because you will have children. Your dream is to visit another country? Better get your passport ready because you're going to visit another country.

No matter what you want in life, you always need to stay motivated to reach your goals. Once that flame is gone, life starts to lose its purpose. If someone doesn't have something that they are aiming towards... what's the point? Everyone wants something to some extent. Whether it be large or small, everyone has something they want to be able to have in life.

Everyone deserves the chance to make their dream a reality. Everyone deserves the life that they want. Everyone deserves to allow their flame to never die because you should never lose your flame. No matter what.

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.
