there are a few things i've noticed that are important to the survival and happiness of a college student. 1-free food. 2- public restrooms are the bom.com. 3-full microwavable meals. 4-free activities. 5-places that don't require a vehicle to get there.
the only time during the week that i ever spend money is on saturday (or friday night at midnight) to buy groceries. it's ridiculous! I hate that i have to spend money on things that won't last. so now, when i see a sign or a flyer, or a half eaten burger in the trash (okay i don't do this.... usually... :P) i take specific note and make sure to attend faithfully. ward activities are great for this. I think that free food is the only way that college kids go to any activity that sounds even remotely boring. If you there was a flyer that said, "come to the read out loud of my biochemistry book while there is opera music playing in the background" party people would go if you throw a "and there will be free food" at it in the flyer. free food=less meals preparing and buying. This is the first rule of college. Eat free food. Even if it tastes nasty. end of story.
public restrooms are no longer a disgust. They are actually quite heavenly. why? because it's less toilet paper that i have to buy for my apartment. do you realize how much toilet paper is consumed in an apartment of 5 girls??? I think tree huggers should be less worried about global warming and should start limiting the squares per day people can use. it would kill less trees in the end. Bare minimum of toilet paper per visit to the bathroom while at home is the rule. and maybe grab a handful of TP on your way out of the bathrooms on campus and save it for a home visit.
preparing good and healthy meals takes like 5 times longer to make than an 88 cent tv dinner. i know they are pasty things that are high in sodium and practically give you 8 diseases upon eating them but how am i supposed to party, socialize, watch movies, explore, or go on adventures... i mean do homework, study, and call home if i'm always cooking? yeah i'm not sure either. i'll have to invent a better way of cooking healthy yummy things. it'll make me a millionaire.
money doesn't grow on trees when your in college either. you don't realize how rich you are at a minimum wage job, living at home, eating your food provided by your parents, using their toilet paper until you don't have any job and are providing for yourself. This makes doing fun things difficult. there is no such thing as going to the movies anymore. i couldn't tell you what is playing at the theatre or the 3 dollar theatre, or even the one dollar theatre. if an activity says free and even has the title of "poetry and a beverage" (which i went to tonight cause it was free... i kid you not!) you go! because it gives you something to do besides tape hot guys up on your "hot guy wall" or draw for your dumb art classes.
not having a car is like being a pioneer without a handcart. i don't even know what's around the other side of town (anywhere beyond a 5 blocks radius of campus) because i sure as heck am not riding a bike around all these hills! the institute has this great thing called if there's an institute even off campus there are people that will shuttle you to and fro! other than that, activities on campus or extremely close are what i'm limited to. i like events on campus because of this.... and of course the bathrooms too. :D
it's amazing how much you learn to live without at college. things you've been used to growing up that you thought you could never live without are now a delicacy like chocolate, and icecream, and soft toilet paper, and having a car to get places. :D
anyways, it's really late... or early.... night ya'll!
