There is not a damn thing to do in Adrian, and I know this because when I first came here to Siena Heights University (SHU) I realized that there wasn’t going to be much for me. There really isn’t shit to do. I came to SHU for the track team, and the one-on-one attention I could get from my teachers. However, on the weekend when you don’t have class, all there is to do is hangout in your dorm room. The parties here suck, too, unless you go down the street to Adrian.  So you’re pretty much stuck here. I recommend playing pool. It’s one of the few fun things on campus– I guess.

I know some of us are all just dying of boredom because we came from an area with tons of stuff to do like the seeing the latest movies. I love going to big movie theaters because there were always tons of people there to interact with along with girls!!!! Malls, real malls, (Adrian mall does not count) are also nonexistent here. I like stores that have stuff for people under fifty. Things that I like to wear, along with a nice selection of stores because at the Adrian mall I didn’t see any stores I really knew. Where I come from we have put-put golf, go cart racing, and laser tag, and these are good hang out spots to meet up with groups of people to just have a good ass day. There are also way more clubs near me at home than there is here. In Adrian, we have something called “The Caf” or something like that.I didn’t even go to it when everyone else went. I knew it wasn’t going to be fun, which is terrible because when I want to party or have a good time, I have to go to Toledo or Ann Arbor.

My friend Wes and I make a joke out of “there isn’t shit to do here.” I’ll say, “Dog what are we going to get into tonight!?,” but we both know damn well we will be in the game room playing pool until we get tired. Then we will just watch ESPN until one of asks, “Wanna walk around?” Usually, that means finding some girls to just hang out and talk. They never believe us when we just want to be friends though because most guys do just want hook up.

That’s another bad thing about this campus. These guys are all too damn thirsty. So, that makes it a little bit harder to make girl friends.  Once they get a little more comfortable, it’s fun getting to know them and just have a good conversation.  So, if you really want something to do on weekends, I highly recommend you to make the 30 minute drive to Toledo or the 40 minute drive to Ann Arbor for some fun.
