SMUfluence

Here's an insight to what it's like living on campus at SMU


SMU's made me Love

-Fruit Salad. Especially when they have the granola clusters to add to it.

-Cheerios! i HATED those before :|

-Chocolate Milk. Yummm

-That Mysterious Cereal with the different flakes... I have No idea what it is but it tastes Woahhhh

-Poutine !! This is basically french fries with gravy and cheese. Tastes good with chicken in there. Sounds a bit gross, but it tastes wonderful ! :$ Guilty pleasure. It makes you Fat ! LOL :| NO lie. Do NOT eat this at night. Lesson Learnt.




-Donair sauce. I still wonder what it's made of but it tastes good with garlic slice.






-Sweet Potato Fries. <3






-Courteous Males. AND Females. =). I assure you, chivalry is Alive in Halifax. Guys will go out of their way to hold the door open for you, THat's for sure. <3 . It's something I can't help but appreciate. Especially since when I get back home it's nonexistent . (N)

I would put snow on that list but you love it as much as you hate it. It's nice to look at, fun to play in, you Hope for a blizzard so that you can have a snow day, but those moments when you actually want to go outside, it becomes a pain. Not to mention one of my favourite boots got ruined. But I think that has more to do with Halifax's indecisive weather. I went out one night and it was Snowing. A few hours later it was Pouring rain ! And I don't mean any ordinary rainfall. The streets were beginning to Flood :| . sigh*. Don't buy suede ...


SMU's made me Hate

-Fire Alarms. And the idiots who pull them ! Waking up at 3 am to walk down 15 flights of stairs and walk back up again is NOT fun ! Especially when you have an exam at 9 at morning ! It doesn't even make sense waiting for the elevator because it'll take you about 10 times as long to get to your room.

-Immature freshman. To tell you the truth, most of those students who do the most ridiculous things are the Canadians. And I'm not speaking about the Hilariously ridiculous. Just the plain old WHy the HECk would you do That/?!! *ANNOYED* !!!!!! -_-'' .

-Smokers. I can't stand them even more now ! They decide to smoke where everyone NEEDS to pass so you always get hit RIght in the face with that Gust of Death. UCk ! Absolutely wretched !. Someone needs to Slap them and put them all in a Hole.

-Partiers. It's fine to go out every now and then, but to do it every weekend? The worst part is science kids have school on Friday, unless the rest of the student body. So while we still have to be finishing up labs and preparing for recitation, you hear people galloping up and down the halls Screaming.

-Living in the same suite with Boys. Now some of them are ok, but others are anything BUT hygienic. Especially those I Lived with last year. UGH ! Disgusting ! Which is why a bunch of my female friends got together and requested an all-female suite. I suggest other people do the same.. But since 2 of us landed the position of an RA that plan didn't carry through.

-People who INSIST on walking slowly. Know those moments when you need to get somewhere and those 3 girls decided to take up the entire width of the hallway and stroll so they can have their Chat? It takes all you have to not Smack the gossip out of them. Be considerate and stick to ONE side of the hallway PLEASE ! Hm !

But words of Advice, TRY your best to leave for class early. ie earlier than 15 minutes before class starts, and before it ends as well. The elevators move at snail pace, stopping at every floor. You might as well take the stairs..

Speaking of which... going to this school really does make you lazy. We rely on the elevator way more than we should. Back home we did so much walking to get from point A to point B. Even walking from the hangout spot to the caf, and then to class was a lot, but we did it anyway. And walking all through town to get a bus. I need to forget about the whole elevator business. Except those times when I'm in a rush.

I think that's all for now. If there's anything else I think of I'll add it on here later.

Neü !
