    When i started college, I spent a few days just roaming campus, exploring every open building and wooded area around. Subsequently, I was the one through the years that knew where everything was, never showed up late because I knew the most direct paths, already found really nice date spots on campus, and knew all the true study areas (If your uni is like mine, it is def not the noisy library).

    A lot of headaches were prevented by just going on a little stroll

    Oh, man, I love this! Back in college, I did something kind of similar. At first, I was just wandering around like everyone else, but then I started paying attention to those little things that made campus life a breeze. Like there was this coffee shop right outside campus that wasn’t listed on Yelp, and they had the best deals in town. Or that building where the basement was totally quiet because nobody knew the study rooms were open until midnight. I even found this super underrated path that shaved off probably five minutes between classes, which meant way more time for a quick nap. I ended up sharing some of my finds with friends, and it’s crazy how we all had different little tricks—like which vending machine on campus was always stocked with the best snacks. It’s kinda like building your personal campus toolkit, and you feel like you’ve unlocked some superpower knowing these things. It’s amazing how these small hacks can make such a big difference in your day-to-day.
