Thumbs up: Breakfast burritos
They’re easy, they’re good and they’re cheep. Breakfast burritos is what has essentially fed me in college. Most people say it’s roman, I say it’s breakfast burritos. Load about four eggs into a pan, sprinkle some chees of a tortilla, slap some decent salsa on there and you’re good to go.
Thumbs up: Bowling for credit
At the beginning of the semester, I needed one extra credit to get to the 16 I need to graduate. I chose a bowling class that meets once a week. There’s no homework or stress, just bowling, which is something I do for fun anyways. Now you’re telling me I get college credit for it? Sign me up. It sure as hell beats math class.
Thumbs up: ISU football and volleyball
In case you’ve been sleeping under a rock all semester, ISU’s football team is 3-1. Yes, 3-1. Remember a few years ago when this team was a two-win doormat of the Big Sky? Yeah, me too and how about the volleyball team? Both teams are right near the top of the Big Sky standings.
Thumbs down: Clean checks
Part of the reason I wanted to move out of student housing apartments (Bengal Creek and Hillside) is that this new place I live in doesn’t micromanage my life. I’m not a dirty person by any means. I clean my messes when I make them, and I vacuum once a month weather I need to or not. I found it annoying that my apartment had to be spotless – good enough to pass a military check list it felt like – on their specified days. I’ll clean when I get to it. I’m 22, well, 20 and 21 at the time, don’t tell me how to live my life. Who cleans baseboards anyways?
Thumbs down: Gas prices
I have a job that requires me to drive a lot and these gas prices are killing me right now. They have gone down a bit since the summer, but I’m paying about $45 a week on gas. Thank God I can write my miles off on my taxes.
Thumbs down: The Walmart parking lot
Nobody knows where they’re going, I almost run over about three children who are running rampant from their parents and people walk right down the middle of the isle between the parking spaces. It’s almost like they are asking me to run them over.
