12 Obstacles Students Face Walking On Campus

Better look out for those bicyclists.

12 Obstacles Students Face Walking On Campus
Vision Of Travel

Walking to class is hard enough but then obstacles have to go and make it even more difficult. We already hate walking to class because it means we are about to sit through an hour-long lecture and then the world decided to create more problems. If you haven’t faced one of these below I’m sure it’s because you never go to class.

1. Bicyclists

They won’t slow down for you and they definitely don’t understand the concept of personal space.

2. Slow walkers

Some of us like to get to class on time or even just simply walk at a decent pace.

3. Skateboarders

Freshman year I was trampled by someone on a skateboard and we went down to the ground together.

4. Cars

The one obstacle we all think of running in front of to pay our tuition.

5. Golf-carts

I swear those employees on the golf carts don’t acknowledge the fact that they are sharing the sidewalk with pedestrians.

6. The heat

I almost pass out trying to get to class every day during the months of March-October.

7. The cold

I almost freeze to death trying to get to class every day during the months of November-February. Sometimes I even bring a blanket.

8. The rain

I don’t know about you but I find it a little hard to walk through rivers to get to class.

9. Protestors

“Wow, it’s such a nice day out.” That is what I thought until I walk past a protestor yelling at me for something I did wrong.

10. People with flyers

I’ve found that if you call your mom/dad while walking to class you can bypass this annoying obstacle.

11. Football players on hover boards

They tend to carry mini speakers as well so watch out because they don’t have an extra hand to help if they run into you.

12. The hills

You don’t even realize you are walking uphill until your hamstrings start to cramp up.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
