How to Walk In the Hallway

The fact that I even have to write this is really annoying. As an upperclassman I am here to tell you what is and isn’t okay when walking through the hallway on between classes. As much as I hate to say this, I am not making this up. I am saying this from my own personal experiences. I know that not everyone out there does things like what I am about to tell you, but still pay attention. Not to generalize a class, but usually it is freshmen who are the culprits of these dumb acts.

1)      I am all for socializing and talking with your friends in between classes. I think it’s fine, especially when that is the only time you get to see them. But, what is not okay is taking up the entire hallway with your little gang of friends. I cannot tell you the amount of times I have had to shove my way through a clump of freshman to get to class. I don’t care if you think it’s rude of me, its rude of you to completely take up a busy hallway just to talk with your friends.

2)      When walking to class, please keep walking. If you are in a stream of people walking through the hallway, do not just suddenly stop right it front of me. I will shove you out of the way because I really don’t care if you see your friend on the other side of the foyer and just have to say hi to them. If you want to talk to them, get out of the line so the rest of us can pass by without running into you.

3)      Another thing when walking to class, try to pay attention to where your class is. Many times I have been walking to class in a busy hallway and the person in front of me not only stops abruptly but, turns around and starts walking in the other direction to get the classroom that we just passed. I mean seriously, what do you expect me to do, there is probably fifty people behind me and we all have to stop and probably run into each other because you couldn’t pay attention enough to know where your own classroom is.

I am sorry if this post sounded like a rant but I am tired of running into people when trying to get to class. When our hallways are this crowded, you can’t just do whatever you want and block people. You will probably get run over by an upperclassman like me.
