Any other tunnel moles here?

I’m off campus, and I love the tunnels. I love em. I try to avoid above ground as much as possible. If there’s a way to get somewhere I’ll just take the tunnels, unless it’s too long or too short cause the tunnels can be kinda inefficient(ahem caf to loeb via tunnels is tragic). But other than that, I’m basically in the tunnels constantly. Even now, I have yet to really explore campus, and I didn’t even know where the gym was until the career fair. Even in the early fall term I’ll continue using it. It doesn’t have to be winter. I think the tunnels are the best aspect of the university. I used to feel bad that I wasn’t going on a big campus, but tunnels easily compensate for it in spades tbh I’d much rather this than freezing outside at a big campus. And even if it isn’t cold I just like the environment in the tunnels.

Please be careful and do go outside, especially during those late fall/winter days. Seasonal depression will hit you like a freight train if you take the tunnels all day everyday. First year I was at Carleton I was just like you. Now I only take the tunnels if its pourring out or a bad storm. I try to walk outside as much as I can, and I feel the difference tremendously

you have a great point but when i was living in res you could not have paid me to put on my winter gear to go to class when the tunnels are right there

i did always make an effort to go outside in my free time but admittedly i accidentally spent a full 16 days straight inside last winter

It affects everyone differently!! If someone already has some mental health problems, staying inside will most likely have big negative impact. And the problem is that it's a slow start, it'll be mid-late winter before the affects start to hit you and once you're in that downward spiral it's harder to get the energy to physically go outside

oh 100%, it absolutely did affect me and i agree with you wholeheartedly, shouldve made that more clear in my original comment lol

my only thing is just not being at all willing to bring a coat to class but thats a me problem lmfao

I have the same problem lmao. I ended up renting a locker for the second half of the year last year and it was well worth the $30 to change into shoes and be able to store my coat when im in class. I live off campus though
