#college rules

godspeed to the guy wheelie-ing across campus at 25mph

There are two rules that I thought any normal college student-well any decent human being living at least in the United States would be aware of. Coming to a college that has alot of people from around the country, I realized that common gestures and things, aren't as common as I would expect. But I think these things that I try to follow every day are not difficult, can translate into multiple communities, and should be a PSA for not only future students coming to my school, but also humans who interact with other humans on the daily basis. These very simple rules are as follows: 1. Whenever you are walking down a sidewalk, walk on your side. In America, this is the right side. If you are coming towards me and you are on the left, I refuse to move. That is my side. Furthermore, if you are walking with a group of two or three on the side walk and someone is coming down the opposite way of you, the person on your outter most left should take the initiative to walk behind the group. This hsould be common decency, but again, most poeple do not do this. A person should not be forced to walk in mud, because you do not understand unwritten rules made by an 18 year old on tumblr. Anyways. 2. I have elevators in my residence hall. I am very thankful, because I am very lazy. A very simple rule that will require minimum effort and make the flow of life a lot more easier, is to let people out before you get on. To a lot of you, this may be common sense or "duh", however, I have been ran into countless times by other students who just do not wait for the people on the elevator to get off before tey barge in. This makes things easier to get in and out of, ensures more room, prevents bumping and jarring into eachother or into walls, and overall saves time. I hope you take this information and use it in your daily lives. This will make my day and your day a lot better if you just remember that you are not the only human on a side walk and that you will bump heads with someone trying to get off and elvator if you jump on. Okay, have a good day.
