Struggles Of Traveling

As told by "New Girl"

Struggles Of Traveling

Every college student knows the struggle of getting from place to place when you're on campus without a car, or a clue. While we are fortunate to have things like Skype and Facebook to communicate, nothing compares to good old face to face contact with the people you care about. Thus, we takes planes, trains, and buses at ridiculous hours to make the trek to see our loved ones. Here's a more detailed account of the struggles of traveling long distances on a college student's budget, courtesy of the cast of "New Girl"!

1. You attempt to fit all your belongings in one carry on to avoid extra fees.

2. No matter how prepared you thought you were, you inevitably get lost, confused or stressed when you arrive at the station.

3. You try not draw attention to yourself but manage to bump into and trip over everyone in your path.

4. Once you're settled in your seat, you make an effort to act socially acceptable.

5. But you slowly realized sitting still is not your thing.

6. You struggle to entertain yourself.

7. There are always some kids who just really get on your nerves.

8. You start to get some really weird cravings.

9. You switch your phone to airplane mode to avoid anxious texts from the 'rents.

10. You finally arrive safely at your destination.

11. When you see the person you came for, it all becomes worth it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
