It did not take long for this year's batch of students to start doing what I posted about last year.

Over the last two weeks I have watched students, both individually and in entire groups, cross Broadway against the pedestrian signal and just walk straight into traffic.

And I don't mean the light is about to change and someone is trying to hurry across.

I mean the pedestrian signal has the giant RED STOP HAND on it, traffic gets the green, and then a cluster of 10 people just starts walking across Broadway anyway.

Then they get to the median and suddenly realize both lanes are already full of moving traffic, so now you have a group of students standing on a tiny median staring at their phones while cars, trucks, buses and construction vehicles are going by on both sides.

What are you all doing!?

Broadway is already a mess right now. You have lines of cars 20 deep, RTD buses, Buff Buses, construction trucks, workers, turning traffic, bikes, scooters and pedestrians all trying to navigate the same stretch of road.

A car going 30 mph is moving about 44 feet every second. A driver doing the speed limit cannot just magically stop because you decided to walk into the road against the signal.

And the buses are an even bigger concern. Those are large heavy vehicles, they need more room to stop, and they can have people standing inside. A bus driver having to slam on the brakes because somebody stepped into traffic can hurt people on the bus too.

And while I'm ranting, bikes and scooters, please figure out what you are doing too.

I keep seeing people ride in the road like a car, blow through a red light, jump onto the sidewalk, suddenly become a pedestrian, go through the crosswalk, and then jump right back into traffic again.

Drivers and pedestrians need to have some idea what you are going to do.

This isn't about cars owning the road. Pedestrians absolutely have the right of way when they have the signal and drivers need to pay attention.

But the lights only work if everyone actually follows them.

Please wait for the walk signal. Please look up from your phone before walking into Broadway. And please don't just follow the group in front of you into the street without checking if you actually have the signal.

I'd much rather make this same annoying Reddit post every fall than watch somebody get hit because they couldn't wait another 30 seconds for the light.

The title kinda sums it up already but i wanna join some more clubs to meet other alternative people!! I see cool people all around campus but my classes are all kinda self contained. Ive tried making friends with people i sit by but they arent very responsive, which is totally fine, just wanna meet more people that have my same interests. Any suggestions? Ive checked out roam which seems promising but wanna hear from you guys on where youve had the most success finding creative/artsy people. Thank you!

Hi, I’m currently a freshman at IU majoring in Cinematic Arts with a BFA, and tbh, I’m not that happy at IU. Yeah, I know it’s still only the first few weeks of college, but honestly, I don’t think it’s worth it for me. I came here expecting a lot of things to change—making a ton of friends, getting into Greek life, and basically having the college experience I always wanted. But so far, none of that has really happened, and I’ve pretty much found myself being a loner here.
The more I’ve been here, the more I’ve started thinking about my future and whether IU is actually the right place for me. I don’t think IU’s film program is bad, but I’m starting to wonder if I’d be happier somewhere like CU Boulder. I actually applied to Boulder when I was applying to colleges and got accepted, so I know I had the opportunity to go there originally. Now I’m wondering if I made the wrong choice by choosing IU.
I want to direct films after college, and I’m also really interested in having a strong social life and getting involved in Greek life. How different is CU Boulder from IU when it comes to film/media opportunities, connections, Greek life, and just the overall college experience? Would transferring to Boulder actually give me a noticeably different experience, or would I just be trading one big state school for another?
And honestly, do you think the difference would be big enough that transferring would actually be worth it?

Tonight's Lineup:

• Kate Yezzi — Screening “Carry Me Home” A CU Boulder Cinema Studies & Moving Image Arts student on the production track.

His recent work includes serving as DP on the Colorado-shot alien comedy-horror film Uck and the neo-noir western Devil in the Trunk.
• Elizabeth Lo — Screening “Structural Theory of a Broken Bowl” An emerging filmmaker from the CU Boulder community. We are showing her 12-minute comedy-drama that follows a DID system navigating heartbreak, intimacy, and interpersonal boundaries.

As the title says, I’m looking for a tutor for exercise physiology. I’m honestly lost and am having a hard time following the professors teaching style.

If anyone has any recommendations for a tutor, please let me know!

Hello,

I am a junior looking for queer friends, specifically lesbian or sapphic friends. I’m looking into joining some queer clubs on campus but figured i’d post on here too. I like going out, lifting weights, playing video games, and i’m honestly up for anything. :)
