ITT we talk/brag/complain about our commute.

It's a 28 minute ride on the el to class and work for me. It takes me 50 minutes to get to internship though, which really sucks. Also, it's an 8 minute walk to the el from my apartment.

I'd love to complain, but I really can't:

Since my fraternity does not have an official house, I live in an apartment off campus. I'm six blocks away from my classes (it's a huge campus).

It takes me 8min by bike to get to classes, and each time, I have to "fight" traffic going at 25mph and the 300ft elevation climb has really given me a lot of leg muscles. I can choose to walk, but then it takes 15min to get to classes.

Going downhill, I always wonder if that time will be my last as I imagine myself getting fragged into pieces if I ever fall off at 30mph.

(BTW, nobody drives, parking permits are so expensive that they start to rival rent for a room in some areas.)
