A guide to commuting across campus

We realize that the walk from Nichols to Shah can be the world’s biggest struggle for Harker students, so here are some ideas to make your commute a little bit easier:

Pendulum catapult

Put the pendulum in Nichols to good use! Channel your inner Miley Cyrus and ride that pendulum. Think back to freshman physics to calculate the exact angle and momentum that you need to launch yourself all the way to Shah. If you require assistance, the physics classrooms are conveniently located nearby, and the nurse’s office isn’t far away either.

Put the pendulum in Nichols to good use by using it to fly across campus. Make sure that you perform all your calculations accurately so that you don’t end up accidentally landing on Saratoga Avenue in the middle of incoming traffic. Cindy Liu

Chariot of squirrels

Now that Homecoming week has ended, repurpose your old class float into a squirrel-drawn chariot to ride around campus. You’ll not only save energy, but also become the coolest kid on the block showing off your new wheels — or rather, paws.

A chariot of squirrels can be a stylish way to travel around campus. Unfortunately, Pokéballs don’t exist in real life, so you’ll have to find your own way to capture it for your chariot. Cindy Liu

One with nature

Okay, so, maybe Hannah Montana’s alter ego isn’t calling out to you today. In that case, the spirit of Tarzan should easily flow through your veins. Clamber up the trees by Main and swing as if you really did grow up alongside Mangani apes (that can somehow speak perfect English). Maybe you’ll even find a Jane! (In which case, you can refer to our article on how to secure a date to Homecoming.)

Survival of the fittest

Are you the size of an energetic young child? Does one of your friends possess a scary resemblance to Hagrid? If so, the back of said friend should work perfectly as your mode of transportation across campus. Simply piggyback onto your half-human, half-giant buddy and mow down the puny, inferior mortals who stand before you. Make sure to find some time while piggybacking on your friend to giggle in the glory of being at the top of the food chain.

 Golf-cart limo

Admit it, you’ve all stared jealously at those golf carts that security and Athletic Trainer Jaron Olson drive around campus in. You’ve definitely wanted to own a sweet ride like that — and why shouldn’t you? Hire a personal chauffeur for the sole purpose of transporting you to the opposite ends of campus. It’s money well-spent; you’ll not only arrive to class on time, but also get there in the most stylish way possible.
