Things You Think About While Walking Around Campus

Go Hoosiers, and all IU has to offer.

As I start my second year of college here at IU, I've noticed that while walking around campus I tend to notice really random things. Not only are you able to realize how beautiful Bloomington's campus is, but you notice the little things. And a lot of days those things are what get you thinking.

If you're anything like me, you head to class with your headphones in and look around while walking. You'll see the people talking to their friends, the kids who are off to a late start to class and are running past you, or the side walk call-out meetings.

Between all of that, I always notice the ways in which people are walking to class; if they're heading to Kelly, or towards the center of campus. But the absolute best is the huffing and puffing of someone who is about to walk into Ballentine, because they know the torture they're about to succumb to (walking up the very poorly ventilated stairs.) It might just be me, but I like to think about what majors people are working towards. But it's pretty easy to decipher who is studying in Kelly or a difference school. Because if you walk around campus on Fridays, you won't see a Kelly kid anywhere close to a backpack.

I am also one to notice the attractive people on campus. Although I will probably never talk to them, I can still dream that I'll go on a date with the cute guy in the Duke shirt.

And I also notice the cute clothing people wear. Half the time I want to ask them where they bought it, but thats creepy so I refrain. A lot of these times I get outfit inspiration, or I think about how comfy I am in my athletic shorts/yogas.

Like any other normal college student, the times I was to class are also times when I think about all that I have to accomplish/complete... Or remember that I forgot to do an assignment that is due in under 10 minutes.

But besides that, the time walking to class is also an amazing time to take in how awesome Btown is. IU's campus is truly beautiful. And it seems like just about everyday I walk through campus, I have a big smile on my face. I love the campus itself, and everything it has to offer.

Although it seems like something everyone does, I really appreciate the scenery that IU has. The campus is truly amazing. But the only time I don't like walking through campus is when the crazy preacher stands outside of Woodburn, and tells us we're all going to hell. Yes, just because I wear yogas, I am officially deemed to hell, you are so right sir.

I could go on and on about everything I think about while at IU, but over all I just truly love it, and think about just about everything and everything during my 15 minute walks to class.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
