Distance: .6 miles

Time it takes: 13 minutes

Listen to: The Final Countdown on repeat to power you through and remind you that it’s only a few more minutes ‘til you arrive.

Or, call: Your mom—she’s hasn’t heard from you in a while, and 13 minutes is the perfect amount of time to cover your roommate drama, that one meal you cooked and a promise to call more often. Be sure to leave out this weekend’s “extra-curricular” blackouts.

Avoid: Fliers. This walk spans the entirety of Locust Walk. Ever heard of stranger danger? These seemingly kind fellow students will only slow you down.

Back up plan: Turn around and go home. Some things just ain’t worth it in this heat, and 4th floor DRL is one of them.
