How To Commute
(Something semi-snarky that I wrote for The Ubyssey’s First Years Guide)
It’s Monday morning at 7:40 a.m. on the 99 B-Line. Where your rez-living counterparts can roll out of bed at 8:55, you have to haul ass all the way from the suburbs. To fit into the collective of overworked students stuck on a cramped bus, don’t try to be overly happy or chatty. Make a grumpy expression and silently stoke your anger at TransLink instead.
“It made me unhappy, waking up so early,” said Urooba Jamal, a third-year internaional relations major who used to commute from Surrey. “The first couple of months, I would be like, ‘Yeah, I’ll read my notes on the bus, there’s so much time.’ But as soon as I read a sentence, I would get droopy, so I’d just end up sleeping on the bus.”
To survive your daily commute: Don’t be smelly. Bring an iPod, but don’t blast the music. Bring notes in a compact form like index cards for easy studying. Allow extra time for when TransLink decides to be flaky, and then rant at the TransLink Twitter account. Find a friend to commute with. Or don’t, and condition your body to sleep the entire 40 minutes from Commercial Drive to UBC.
Made from 10,000 drinking straws, the Clutch Chair is an exploratory research piece that passes comment on our disposable culture. The development process of this piece also informed that of the Clutch Light, both of which were developed from an observation of the structural characteristics of trees. This piece was selected by Zaha Hadid as her Curators Choice at Noise Festival 2008
