Stranded
Having a CBU student ID card has its perks. I don’t have a car, so getting around can be a little hard. There are so many things that would be easier to do if I had a car. Going to the movies takes lots of planning. Thanks to the Riverside Transit Agency, CBU students can get free rides by swiping their ID cards to ride a local bus or even the CommuterLink express bus. You can see the bus route and schedules by clicking here. Even then, the places I can go are limited. I’m still not able to visit the beach or go to the mountains, but I am able to go shopping for food and supplies. I want to go to Mount Rubidoux and visit a beach, but haven’t been able to yet.
My brother and I have used our student ID cards multiple times to ride the bus. Last year I went to the Mission Inn. Sometimes I go on trips that the International Center organizes. It is a good, fun way to get to know people (especially international students) and have fun. Those trips are usually inexpensive. I encourage you to visit the International Center (even if you aren’t an international student) and see if they have any events planned that you may be interested in. For example, sometimes the International Center needs people to accompany someone to events, so that would be a great way to get to know a student from a different culture.
There are times when I wish I had a car, or want to go and do outdoor activities without having to tag along with someone. There’s usually something going on at CBU, so going off-campus for fun isn’t necessary. The community life game room and intramural sports are a great way to relax and unwind. Personally, I’m excited about the Ultimate Frisbee Tournament this Saturday. I haven’t been able to play much since the beginning of the school year, and my brother put me on his team. If you have time, come watch the fun!

This week please pray for your church leaders.
