suffering as a commuter student

many people don't realize the strife commuter students go to an a daily basis. from getting to class on time, especially if you take public transit to slugging around pounds of luggage it can be tough. it's not understandable because many people have attended traditional colleges in the past and have no clue what it's like to attend a commuter college everyday.

another sad reality is the mental and phhysical stress one takes on in their pursuit of higher education (which is the common thread that drives us all), family factors, clubs, need to fit in, and other pressures weigh on us on a daily basis and only the strong survive. the college is good however with providing support services for students who need iti but some feel intimidated. the best thing we can do as s society is to be mindlful that those pressures do exist and help each other get through them.
