For anyone who commutes to college, we all know there are both ups and downs to living off-campus. It's great to be able to go home at the end of each day and see your family and pets, and sleeping in your own huge, comfortable bed is definitely a major plus. The food is undeniably better at home too, since nothing beats a nice home-cooked meal. But sometimes, no matter how much you enjoy commuting, things happen throughout the day to make you regret your decision. Here are just a few of the worst feelings you can experience as a commuter:
1. When everyone in your group for your group project wants to meet at 8 pm on a Sunday night because it's when they're all free.
Don't you understand I commute?!
2. Or when you're the only commuter in your group, so the whole group has to plan meetings around the times you're on campus.
Sorry, I'm so difficult.
3. When you wait for what seems like forever for the express bus to the main parking lot and the line gets cut off RIGHT before you get on.
The start of any bad day.
4. The same situation as above - except it's raining.
I want to cry just thinking about it.
5. When you're finally done for the day but because of traffic, it takes an extra half hour to get off campus.

Leaving at 5:20 is always a bad idea.
6. When it's been a long day and you just want to nap between classes, but there's nowhere to nap.
There's always the couches in the commuter lounge, but you just feel awkward.
7. When you travel all the way to campus, check your emails and realize your only class was canceled.

Ugh.
8. Or even worse - when your professor cancels class right as you get to campus.
Couldn't you have told us an hour ago?!
9. When you're starving and just want to buy lunch, but any decent meal is at least $10.
No, I don't have dining dollars or meal swipes.
10. When you want to move your car so you won't have to take the express bus after class, but the line just isn't worth waiting on.
By the time you actually get to your car, you'll be late to class.
11. When there's a club you really want to join, but they meet at 9 pm on Tuesday nights.
Thank you, but no thank you.
12. When you stay on campus really late to study and suddenly remember you still have to drive home.
I have to be back at 8 am, so I might as well just sleep here.
13. When you have to wake up hours before your 8 am class to make sure you're there on time.
Who needs sleep anyways?
