This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean 1 mile is still a 20 min walk or so. A bus can cover it in a couple of minutes and you won't be exhausted, especially if carrying a heavy bag of books, it's uphill, it's raining, it's snowing, it's exceptionally hot, there are no sidewalks, you have to detour significantly to cross a body of water, highway, or other hazard, you have a mobility impairment, or you just don't want to waste 40 minutes of your day walking when you could jump on a bus and spend that time doing other things. Now if it's a choice of waiting for a bus that only comes every 20-30 min and walking, sure.
