Six Things that Won't Change after Elections

Tomorrow, America will be irrevocably changed. Obama will be on his way out of office and Trump, Hillary, Johnson, or Stein will be on their way in. Policies will be changed; new supreme court justices elected; judicial orders may (or may not) be reversed.

With all that change, here is a list of six things that will stay constant.

1. Your best friends, you know the ones you've had since kindergarten, or fifth grade, or college, the ones who have seen you through thick and thin. They'll still be there when you break up, or get married, or graduate.

2. Ice cream will still be amazing in all of its different flavors and textures.

3. Your childhood memories, the good, the bad, the ugly, will remain intact. You'll remember when you had bees as pets, or that time you rode an elephant with those people you can't remember, or that summer trip to Costa Rica.

4. Swimming will still be an amazing pass time. Whether swimming to you means tanning by the pool or chicken fighting with your brothers, it will still be the best way to pass the slow summer time.

5. Home cooked meals will still make you salivate. Especially if, like me, you're away at school and your mom is a plane ride away.

6. Thanksgiving will still be on its way! And you'll get to see old best friends and make new memories and eat that home cooked meal (or take out Chinese, whatever tradition you seem to have).

Don't get too down. Remember, November is a month of thankfulness so, even though our country's future might be rocky, take a moment to celebrate the things that won't change.

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
