On the way to class Thursday night I hit bumper to bumper traffic. I was finally on time (For once. Trust me, its not my forte.) and I am suddenly stoppped, staring at the back of a Ford for ten minutes. After I finally parked and started walking to class, I realized there was a huge accident on the main road of campus. Things like this are bound to happen and can often have bad consequences. We were doing group projects that day, thankfully I wasn’t scheduled to go. If I was, my group would have been missing their game show host, a central part of our project.
People often don’t consider these situations when deciding to commute or not. Try and think about all the possible scenarios that could happen. Gas is getting expensive. Try and calculate how much money it will cost you to drive back and forth all year. Then there are projects and other assignments that you’ll have to work on outside of class. The gas might be almost as expensive as living on campus, so really weigh your options when deciding to live at home or not.
