I lived on campus for three years and this makes my second year of commuting. I have found a few pros and cons of commuting when it comes to Pfeiffer.

Pro 1: Money


College is expensive no matter if you live on campus or if you live at home but it does save money to live at home and drive back and forth to school every day! It can cost around $11,000 to live on campus!! For $11,000 I can drive to school for 550 weeks at what I currently pay for gas a week!

Pro 2: I get to see my family every day

Every day I get to drive home and see my family. I get to have dinner with my mom, my sister, my fiancé and my stepdaughter. When I lived on campus I would have to wait until the weekend or a school holiday in order to see my family. I now have a closer relationship with my family and I don't miss stuff for my little sister and I get to take my stepdaughter to school every day!

Pro 3: Food


The food at my house is a lot better than the food I had on campus. Not only is it better quantity, I am able to eat anytime I want to. I am able to eat any time of the day that I want and I have more of an input on what I get to eat. I never realized how much I loved my mom's cooking until I lived on campus and I didn't get to eat my mom's cooking.

Now for the not so fun Cons:

Con 1: Not getting to see friends as much!

Even though I get to see my family more often I miss out on getting to see my Pfriends! A lot of my friends are commuters so we never seem to be on campus at the same time!

Con 2: Student Involvement


It is always great to be involved in things on campus and since Pfeiffer requires culture credits to be completed it is even better to be involved. When you commute it is hard to be involved because most things happen at night and if you live outside of Richfield it may be inconvenient to stay on campus that late so you miss out on activities.

Con 3: Less Sleep!

All college students LOVE their sleep and nap times. When living on campus you can go between classes and take a nap but you don't get to do that if you commute. Also if you have a 9:00am class there is a chance you have to be up before 8:00am. If you oversleep you don't have the luxury of just jumping out of bed and grabbing your stuff and running across campus to class.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
