If you've had the dreadful experience of commuting to school, you know how exhausting it can get. As a commuter from Richmond Hill who has driven, and taken both the subway and the GO train, I have had my fair share of battles. My commute ranges between half an hour to two hours. The only way to get through the long, boring ride is to make use of it. I usually sleep, do my course readings, or listen to music. Commuting is a vicious everyday battle, and here are some things you might have experienced, or will experience this coming fall.
