A Change of Routine
Typically I wake up in the morning an hour before class because of the time it takes for me to walk to the Regent Parking Lot's Shuttle Stop. It takes a good fifteen to twenty minutes to walk to that shuttle stop and to get on the actual shuttle. Then it takes another ten to fifteen minutes for that shuttle to reach campus. I decided to change my routine by trying two methods. I biked to the shuttle stop and found it to be a quick and refreshing method of mobility. It took me at most five minutes to reach the shuttle stop and it wasn't as tiring as walking. After doing so several times, I tried biking to campus itself and I realized that the time it took to ride to the shuttle stop and taking the shuttle is the same as me just bicycling to my first class. It was actually faster because I eliminated the walk between the on campus shuttle stop to the classroom as well. I tried driving afterwards because it is the quickest way to campus. However it may be the fastest, but overall it took longer than biking. The parking was horrible, and upon finding parking I had to take time buying a permit and then walking to my class which was nowhere near a parking structure. I normally drive to school in the evening because I have a night pass, so I avoided driving in the day time to save money. It turns out I save myself time and money by not driving to school in the day time. Consequently I am now going to bike to school on a daily basis since I feel like it's the most efficient and satisfying method of mobility to campus.
Sincerely,
