College Towns

[Thank Noah for this suggestion for a topic!  If you have ideas for topics, comment below and I will do my best] =========C:[  (That's a giraffe, by the way)

Whatever you do, don't isolate yourself on campus and never leave.  Either use your own car, befriend someone with a car, steal your roommate's car, or commandeer your lit professor's Jeep which is easy to break in to because it has fabric walls.

Now, having acquired a car, commence exploring.  I dare you to find the following lifelines to the outside world:
- A gas station that sells ice cream and slurpees
- The 2 nearest grocery stores (one of which must stock school supplies)
- The nearest Goodwill/thrift store.  This will be your new best friend, because guess what? You have no money for clothes anymore.  Also you can find awesome dorm decorations there (see my wall of frames that is featured in my dorm tour)
- Some sort of amusement park (miniature golf, skating, go-carts, arcade, something like that)
- At least 4 drive-throughs that are open all night
- Several really good diners or restaurants where you can get really good food for less than $10 a person (because you don't have money for food either)

It is also a good idea to seek out nearby hikes, trails, rivers, streams, brooks, oceans, beaches, mountains, terrorist base camps, and/or scenic overlooks.  But not all college towns will have these so I can't really dare you to find them.  Not ethically, at least...

Anyway, make sure you take note of which of these things are within walking and biking distance from campus because you will only be able to steal that Jeep once (incidentally, be sure to return it with a full tank of gas.  That's just common courtesy).

This way, when you get tired and frazzled from so much studying, and/or sick if college food, and/or need and adventure, and/or feel the call of the wild or some similar carnal urge, you have places to go for relief.

Obviously, this plan is dependent upon you choosing a school that is surrounded by a college town.  That's just common sense.
