There are so many things every Carleton University student asks themselves. Do you find yourself wondering why every Tim Horton’s on campus has only 2 employees behind the counter? Whether skipping a class to study for another class is normal? Whether it counts as studying if it’s at Ollies with a beer? Well then hopefully you can relate to this article! I asked for some input from my friends to find out what ridiculously ludicrous questions Carleton students find themselves asking on the daily!
To quote Miley Cyrus: “there’s always going to be an uphill battle, sometimes I’m going to have to lose” and honestly it ‘ain’t about how fast you get there’ because we all know the elevators are slower than a snail but it’s still worth the wait or is it worth the climb?
Only at Carleton would the wifi be hacked and documents be hijacked for digital currency…
‘I just had a midterm for a course, but I don’t even know if I passed the first part of the class from last semester…’ definitely seems to make a lot of sense.
Maybe the 7 shows up a couple minutes early, maybe the 4 is jam packed at peak hours or maybe the 111 drives straight past you at the Dynes stop! Whether it’s coming to campus or leaving we can all agree OC transpo isn’t the most reliable especially during the winter. Is a little less pocket money worth spending for a warm ride home? Hell yeah!
No route. There is no way around them, they’re everywhere! The tunnels, the atrium and even in your class!!!! You just can’t avoid them.
Oh the line… the line that stretches all the way out the front doors of the UC, the line that doesn’t end, the line that never stops forming. It doesn’t matter if you have a stamp cause once you’re out you gotta do it all over again!
Well $1.75 for just one load in the washer isn’t exactly cheap but then there’s the added struggle of the dryers not actually drying our clothes. I don’t know about you but I’ve had to spend $10 dollars just to be able to sleep in fresh bed sheets before.
If you go to Carleton then you know that the library’s fourth floor is Arab nation. It’s like being in a mini Dubai; it’s loud, smells of smoke, and let’s be real no one’s really studying. If you’re looking to socialize and find entertainment well the bright yellow chairs and thick accents have got you covered.
Okay.. if you’re a 90’s kid.. if you’re in at least 2nd year you know what I’m talking about. It will always be known as our beloved River Building and that’s final.
Seriously though, what’s with the extra 5 minutes before and after the hour? I’m not complaining cause 5 minutes of extra sleep in the morning is very nice but it’s just random! Also if you’re an undergraduate student at Carleton you’ll wonder why classes don’t just start on a Monday after break.. and why Friday turns into a Monday schedule at the end of the semester? Also Carleton’s weird with a 12 point CGPA too! So I guess we’re just unique!
