Normal is tooo Normal


When I first got to the town of Bloomington normal it seemed very boring. Where I’m from you see people everywhere and when I got here I saw no one anywhere except on the college campus. That seemed very odd but it would be my 2nd home for some years so I had to get used to it. The other thing about this town is that there are way to many rules for no reason. When I thought about it they just make those rules so that they can get money off of out of town people who do not know the rules that well. For instance the no skateboarding, j-walking, or blowing the horn these are ridiculous and they seem exclusive to us college students. They know when we are trying to get to class we will take extreme measures like not crossing the street at the corner. Yeah very extreme, blowing the horn I really don’t understand that one I do not know who this benefits or who it harms that’s why it makes no sense. The only fun I have here in normal is on campus when events are held and that’s the only time I invite my friends. When they do come we take a trip to the mall but the mall is just as horrible as the town even though they have some of my favorite stores it’s such a hassle getting on the bus system and having to be on their time. The bus drivers are often nice except for the driver who usually drives the pink d to the Wal-Mart on Vernon. He is a really rude middle aged fat white man and I dread having to go to Wal-Mart because I would have to get on his bus. I did have one good experience is when my family came and we stayed in a hotel and I got a chance to go swimming and we went to eat at buffalo wild wings. Maybe the only reason I do not like normal is because I am limited in terms of me being able to explore because I do not have my own transportation maybe next year I will have positive things to say.

  1. I agree there are a few and I mean a select few good stores in the mall but without a car it's such a hassle!

  2. I know what you're talking about with the Pink D bus driver! He's pretty grouchy!

  3. That Pink D bus driver is not cool at all, he's left me behind at least two times if not more...
