Marijuana on Campus- As one becomes accustomed to the College lifestyle there are certain things that one can't help but come across. Marijuana is no exception. As I have been on campus I have experienced people smoking weed in dorms, outside, and even off campus apartments. I have seen marijuana usage back home but never to such an extent or seen such a prevalent backing for it either. There is even a club on campus for it. Generally I feel a larger acceptance to it on campus than back home. I have dabbled in the forbidden fruit a couple times in my life. The smell is rank and is very distinct to the plant. The effects, although enjoyable, leave the user dumb founded and rather susceptible to manipulation.

Skateboarding on campus- Before coming to UCF I visited several Universities to find that each seems to have a different mode of transportation. UF for instance is known for its use of scooters as means of traveling around. UCF on the other hand focuses mainly on using skateboards to travel. I am currently not a user. I prefer to walk all around campus. However, I have spent much of my time dodging these bullets on wheels. I have also seen several falls that do at a bit of enjoyment to a day. They almost seem to believe that because they move a bit faster than a walker they are supreme. It's just the feeling I get when I walk around.

College Eating Habits- Before coming to UCF I would have a steady supply of food at home. Thanks to my parents I never had to worry about going more than 5 yards to get a good meal. Now, I have started to eat almost nothing. I have a food plan but barely seem to use it at campus. It seems that campus eating habits change as you come on campus. Whether it be eating more or eating less it definitely doesn't seem the same as it did back home. Ramen has become a staple food of my diet and water is my main drink of choice.
