You're Pathetic.

You're pathetic for thinking you're pathetic.

I would be willing to bet that every one of us has at some point been called pathetic or worthless or a waste of time, but it's how we used those words to grow as a person that actually makes the difference.

I've been told several times in my lifetime that I have no idea what it's like to go through struggles and to suffer because my life is incredibly blessed and relatively easy. If you haven't read my testimony, I'll link it here. The point is that even if a person's life looks like it's easy, that doesn't mean that it is actually is. Appearances are deceiving 100% of the time.


With that being said, you're pathetic.

You're pathetic for letting your circumstances define you.

You're pathetic for letting your own self confidence fall because of something someone said.

You're pathetic for not standing up for yourself.

You're pathetic for not following your dreams.

You're pathetic for believing other's opinions of you.

You're pathetic for letting others definite you.

You're pathetic for letting yourself be walked on.

You're pathetic for walking on other people.

You're pathetic for letting yourself slip away.

You're pathetic for becoming the person you're not.

You're pathetic for your constant whining when your situation is your own fault.

You're pathetic for pushing everyone away who tries to help you.

You're pathetic for not listening to the best advice you will ever receive.

You're pathetic for being shut inside your own head 24/7.

You're pathetic for thinking you're pathetic.

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.
