I was too lazy to walk to class from the dorms, too impatient to wait for the bus, and too jealous of all the kids on their scooters. However, I was also too cheap to shell out $1200 + on a halfway decent scooter. Thanks to the people here, I wised up to the fact that mopeds are totally better scooters anyway, and I got a moped.

Now I live on the other side of campus, and I’m a lot closer to all my classes, making it pointless to ride about 30% of the time. My moped is usually reliable (especially when I don’t muck with it!) but it’s had a few break-downs which caused me to have to walk to class for a few weeks and be jealous of everyone else’s working scooters. Most people in my hall and most of my friends think I’m “cute” (crazy), and my Dad is mildly perturbed/concerned that I’ve expanded the moped’s original purpose to include off-campus locations as often as I can.

You know what though? I wouldn’t have it any other way.
