Things You Think About While Walking Around Campus

Go Hoosiers, and all IU has to offer.

Things You Think About While Walking Around Campus

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
