Travel Outside the Orange Bubble

By Angel Kuo '24

Go to Target Going to Target is a quintessential part of being a college student, what better way to celebrate moving out from the comforts of home. Don’t think about how that toaster will be full of crumbs that could burn down your dorm or that expensive humidifier that will grow mold or the fridge that you’ll end up leaving something to spoil in will do damage to your health, but think about how nice it’ll be to feel like you’re an adult with your overpriced, yet terrible quality appliances. You’re only here for a couple of years so make sure you take advantage of your parent’s emergency credit card. Enjoy Princeton Junction in the Dark Walk to Princeton Junction at night alone with no map. Sometimes we need to regress to a time before we had cars and really enjoy the nature that the debatably beautiful New Jersey has to offer. Doing the trek at night adds a new layer of excitement, you might get hit by a car, you might get attacked by wild animals, you might trip and break your leg and no one will be able to find you, but in the end, you’ll find peace with yourself, my only advice is to follow the stars and try staying on the sidewalk. Bike around the State I am not from here, nor have I been here long enough to have a concept of anything relating to New Jersey. I do know, from 8th-grade history, that New Jersey on the US map is pretty tiny. Thus I propose that as a fun destresser you bike around the entire state. Realistically based on my perception of the state’s size, this would take you a few hours max, and if you can’t do it in that time span, maybe you shouldn’t have stopped working out when you came to college. If you need any motivation to do it, think of how big and thick and muscular and juicy your legs will be when you come back. Find a Wawa with no Princeton students You won’t, because as soon as you enter, it’s no longer a Wawa with no Princeton students. Instead, go to Wawa and philosophize about your life and what it means for you to exist, just please don’t make the line move any slower than it already is.
