24 Ways How You Can Just Be You in College
Sebastian Voortman

Young, wild and free. You are in college. You are discovering the world through your own perceptive and experiences. You can be anyone you want in this world. There's no one better than being you. I have been collecting advice from everyone around me on how to be the best me. Here's my advice to unveil the happiest, truest and best you.

1. Send that text.

2. Cut out the toxic people.

3. Try new foods.

4. Keep a journal.

5. Take up a new hobby. (Photography, painting, cooking, hiking, writing, etc.)

6. Talk to people in your major.

7. Email someone in your area that has your dream job. Ask them to grab coffee sometime.

8. Don't let little things ruin your day.

9. Call your parents or grandparents often.

10. Take long walks around campus.

11. Enjoy a sunset or sunrise.

12. Drink lots of water. Add a lemon slice sometimes.

13. Have "me time" to relax just by yourself.

14. Unplug from social media for a few days.

15. Explore the local area around campus.

16. Decorate your room with just things that make you happy.

17. Speak up for what you believe in.

18. Dress nicely at least once a week. (The rest of the week can be sweats)

19. Write three things are you grateful for every day.

20. Take the free cookie they are handing out. Life is too short to refuse cookies.

21. Organize your closet and drawers.

22. Watch old movies.

23. Stay up until 5 A.M. talking to your close friends. That's when the real feelings come out.

24. Just be yourself.

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.
