An Unfortunate Commuter's Favorite Things

Inspired by Friday's documented insanity of Oprah's "Favorite Things" episode (watch it here, and remember, those reactions are 100% real), I have for you here a list of an Unfortunate Commuter's Favorite Things. These are some things that I can't live without, and I don't think anyone who ever commutes, whether it be to school or work, can live without either. I do hope I can elicit some of the excitement that Oprah does, and if things get out of control, please make sure to document it.

1- Fossil Watch

Knowing the time is always important, but it's borderline critical when you are rushing on foot or by train to work or school. Miscalculating public transporation by a matter of seconds can be devastating. This watch looks amazing, so not only will you never be late again, but you'll be the best accessorized commuter in town! ($135, fossil.com)

2- Wool Peacoat- Gap

During the winter, it is essential for every commuter to stay as warm as humanly possible. Nothing slows down a good sprint to work in a late frenzy than cold appendages. That's why every commuter needs an awesome winter jacket. When you're bundled up tight, you, dare I say? might not even mind trudging through the snow.

This classic wool peacoat is as warm as it gets (without looking idiotic in one of those plastic puffy coats). ($135- gap.com)

3- Chuck Taylors- Converse

Whether you're racing to your next class or to a morning meeting, nothing sucks more than when your feet hurt. I always have a good pair of Chuck Taylors in my closet for those days when all that matters is comfort. ($65- converse.com)

4- Emerson Alarm Clock- Sears

Most of the world's problems would be solved if we all had a reliable alarm clock. Luckily for us, here it is. This Emerson alarm clock is eye catching enough that you won't be able to get into bed without being reminded to set it. Plus, with its projection technology, you'll never have to turn over in bed to see how much longer you have to snooze! ($29.99- sears.com)

As Oprah would say, YOU GET A COAT! AND YOU GET COAT! AND YOU GET A COAT! But I'm not Oprah, so buy these things yourselves.
