What to do when AU_WiFi is down

As we all know, AU_Wifi is honestly the absolute worst. It’s always down when you have an assignment due in 10 minutes or when you are in the middle of a great show on Netflix.

But don’t fret, this could be a good thing. Sometimes we need a break from emails, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and whatever other social media you’re addicted to. And don’t even think about using the internet on your phone because you know you’ll go over your data.

So, here are some things to do while AU_WiFi is being a piece of shit.

Go watch people step on the seal

Take a seat on one of the benches and grab some popcorn. So much suspense and horror – it’s like watching a movie. It’s also interesting to see how far away people will walk around it just to be safe.

Find dogs and while sobbing, ask if you can pet them

Puppies are a college student’s favorite thing in the world. When people bring their dog on campus, they immediately become everyone’s best friend. They can usually be found on the Greenspace or on Samford Lawn. Or look at pictures of your dogs you have back home and sob uncontrollably.

Protip: The sweet therapy dog, Moose, comes around the student center every Thursday afternoon.

Pretend you’re athletic and use the bike share

The new bike share thing is pretty cool. Riding a bike up all the hills on campus is not so cool. Some of us haven’t ridden a bike in years, so they may take some getting use to. Hop on one and see if you can still ride your bike with no handlebars.

Play hide and seek in RBD or the Haley Center

We all get lost in Haley and RBD. A game of hide and seek in either of these buildings could last for hours. Although, it might be a little awkward checking for your friend in all of the study rooms.

Call the Foy desk and ask why the WiFi isn’t working

334-844-4244. Do it. But also ask how their day is going, because they are stressed out college students too. Fun fact: did you know The Today Show once called the Foy desk?

Go get a tattoo

Auburn has a lot of great tattoo parlors. If you have some extra cash, why don’t get some ink? There is no time like the present to get that tattoo that your parents don’t want you to get.

Add useless skills to your resume

You aren’t going to do it any other time, so you may as well now. You won’t get that internship you want if you don’t spice up your resume.

Go spend all of your money at The Hound

If you can’t see how much is in your account on your banking app, that means you have infinite funds, right? The Hound is known for being pricey but delicious. Treat yourself.

Actually study

Lol. As if.
