Sophomore Year I was hit by a car crossing from the Mountainlair to Oglebay.
Yes...you may laugh.
I laugh about it now.
But at the time...well, it wasn't so funny.
I have never seen a bruise as big as that one.
The kid that hit me was texting while driving. (Ironic) He wasn't going very fast but it was enough to knock me on my butt. I didn't break anything luckily.
I'm not the only one who got hit by a car in my four years of attending the University.
Some were a little more severe then others.
People don't understand that just because there is a crosswalk there...doesn't give you the right to just walk out without paying attention.
And a little side note to drivers...you should pay attention too.
Here's a tip... if you're in a hurry don't leave when classes are dismissed.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday... classes run 8:30-9:20...9:30-10:20 and so on.
Tuesday and Thursday...classes run 8:30-9:45...10:00-11:15.
It's not hard. Print yourself a schedule and schedule your travel times around it.
Speeding through campus is not only dumb, but it can really really hurt someone.
Save yourself the misery (please) and save yourself a month on crutches. It's not worth it.
I feel like your kindergarten teacher-- but look both ways!
