so, when i was asked to write this blog, i was told i had free rein with minor censorship. okay. awesome. not that i wasn’t honest about my experience at tufts, this is a list of things about tufts that test my patience from time to time. (and if you’re using this as admissions material, sweet, insider’s look. right?)
1. tisch library (it’s finals season so this is most fresh on my mind.)
oh tufts, did you know you had ~5000 students at this school? and were you aware that most, if not all, of the students are type A kids who go absolutely berserk during finals and hole up in the tiny spaces available at said library? oh, you weren’t? oh okay. let me tell you this. it’s annoying. after i spent 15 minutes packing my bags so that i won’t have to go back and forth getting my things, upon my arrival at tisch, i find that there are no more spaces. what? fun times. i guess i’ll take my 15 lbs backpack and need for quiet elsewhere.
2. hilly campus
yeah. honestly, i really don’t mind it 99.10% of the time. however, it is incredibly not handicap friendly. how do i know this? i twisted my ankle on a sheet of ice in the back of aidekman my freshman year. i had class in olin. actually, i had class mostly uphill that semester and i lived on the fourth floor of south. what bad luck. it took me 30 minutes to get to class. even asking for police escort didn’t make it any faster.
3. lack of common sense/consideration
this isn’t about tufts students but people in general but i have noticed it a great deal more on tufts campus. work on it, jumbos. okay, i work at tower cafe and i serve you the pastries and caffeine that you need to finish up that 25 pg paper. i get it. but honestly, do you need to be on your phone while ordering? that’s rude. also a ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ would be totally awesome. moreover, the library is really not a place to socialize. i do not need to overhear your conversation while i’m reading about just how much work you have and how much it sucks. yeah, so does every one else in the library.
4. no sex in dorms
thank goodness for off-campus housing. this is just tells us that you do not want us to have fun, the ‘college experience’ or what have you. honestly, do you expect us not to have sex at all? is this just your way of saying that you want us to be abstinent? i don’t get it. i think most people understand that upon arrival at a college campus, things happen, one of them being ’sexiled’. i had it happen to me. i lived through it. dare i say, it was an interesting experience? because it was. i got to bond with people that i wouldn’t have otherwise. this is just silly.
this is all i could think of at the moment. i guess that is a good thing. also please don’t hate me. i love you tufts. i really do. sometimes you can be really annoying. that’s all.
