Tip #14: Don't Let the Bus Rule Your Life

I figure while we're on the topic of buses, I might as well do my bus rant.

The buses are not all that frequent to the campus, and they will most likely be packed. Sometimes you will even have buses so full that they don't even pick up your stop. It happens, and there's not a whole lot you can do with it.

But in third year, I realized something that I could control. In first and second year, I used to time my life by the bus schedule - "oh sorry, can't talk I have to go catch the bus," or "I'll have to pick up my library books later, I have to get the bus or I'll wait another half hour for it," or even "oh when will this class let out, I'm going to miss the bus." But you really just have to go with the flow and not miss out on things because of the bus. Now, I just wait for the next bus if I have to - it's much less stressful.

And on another note - it's OK in my books to run for the bus. You will feel stupid but it's you might as well just do a quick jog down the student centre hallway instead of waiting a half hour for the next bus. You will feel stupid, but you won't miss anything by taking a little sprint, so that's OK in my opinion (others may disagree though).
