Commuters have unique experiences attending Fisher. As a commuter myself, I find that after some time of being a student and creating a routine, there are still moments that occur no matter what. Below are about 20 thoughts that typically happen for me in a day as a commuting student and most likely happen for others as well.
1. Do I have time to lay here in bed without being late?
2. Where can I nap without looking awkward... Golisano Gateway!
3. Oh! There's a spot right up there! Nope, just a small car in the spot :(
4. Come on, man! We're all in this together, and I need that spot!
5. We need at least five more parking lots... can we move the highway?
6. Yes, I got a spot in that afternoon class, but afterward is rush hour isn't it? Crap.
7. The radio has decided not to play any good songs today I guess.
8. Can I stop at Starbucks this early or should I wait?
9. Thank you, neighbor, for deciding to do renovations this early in the morning.
10. I need my own locker for storing blankets for nap time here.
11. There's a blizzard outside, so I guess I'll be taking the back way home and getting there in two hours.
12. I wanna go home and chill, but there is a food truck coming in two hours... should I stay or go?
13. I think this classic rock station knows I've had a bad day, but please stop playing all the sad Rob Thomas songs
14. Shopping or fill gas tank early???
15. It's been a rough morning, so I'll be making my own parking spot at the end.
16. I forgot my headphones again, didn't I?
17. I'll just print this out at home.
18. I may never be able to turn left out of this highway exit...
19. I've been circling the parking lot, and now that security guy keeps eyeing me as if I'm crazy.
20. No open study rooms? I'll just crash at my local library or coffee shop.
Sometimes the life of a Fisher commuting student can be stressful or tiresome, but in the end, I love where I am and will always be a commuter :)
