Light Reading

I know that this is something that exists at every school, and I know it really is not THAT big of a deal.  But I honestly love spending my time reading and sometimes contributing to the desk carvings seen on various desks and chairs throughout campus.

 I don't know why I find this so interesting but I know that when I'm slightly bored in one of my classes I'll just sit there and read what's in front of me.

This picture, is actually from a table in my Marketing class.  I contributed last week.  It is almost my goal to find something carved from when my parents went here.  I know that may sound stupid.

I just think it shows students' creativity (or level of boredom).  I've seen names in a heart, initials, greek organizations, and even poems carved into desks.  It's nothing intense but some of them just make you smile.

TRAXportation

When it comes to Susquehanna University, they clearly are doing something right when it comes to TRAXportation.  It may be the greatest invention, not only for SU students, but in the history of the entire world.  Unfortunately, I have no photographic documentation of this magical creation that cruises the streets late at night every weekend but that does not mean my love for it is not as important.

I know that many a time I have been walking back from Orange Street only to see the shape of the TRAXportation bus driving down the street.  As a shivering student, I am sure to hail down this bus whenever I can.

Although I have met my fair share of rude students on this bus, I am sure to chat with the bus driver of the night and form a friendship that he really does not care about.  Despite this, I am sure to inform him that I greatly appreciate him picking me up.

To sum this up, TRAXportation is a savior. Maximize this ideal means of transportation from the school. And always thank the driver.
