All right, so this year I’m living off campus because I couldn’t pay the housing deposit, $200, on time and therefore was put on the bottom of the waiting list. However, the house I’m living at does not have cable or internet access. Then last night I realized Doctor Who season 2 was starting and just how was I supposed to get my Who/Billie Piper fix? Then it dawned on me that the Student Center has a big screen TV with cable, a couch, and vending machines near by AND since the Snack Bar* is now open till midnight/1 AM (depending on the day) that means the Student Center would be open late (That’s where the snack bar is located)
Now here comes the cool part. See, my school kind of becomes deserted during the weekends. Lots of people go home and almost no one would be hanging out there so I have the big screen TV all to myself along with a comfy couch!
So now I can get my TV fix! Also they didn’t always get Sci-FI. Last year I couldn’t get it in my dorm room.
*The Snack Bar sells all kinds of different things like soda, chips, candy, and ice cream as well as fried foods and other greasy things. Just this semester they’ve started selling microwaveable meals, crackers, cheese, and I think lunchmeat. Also it wasn’t always open as much as it is now. Last year they closed at and were closed on Saturdays. I guess they realized they could make money off students who were going to Cumberland Farms during the weekends.
