Campus walking speeds have become unacceptable
The walking speed of students this semester has gotten noticeably slower. Please pick up the pace. Some of us have places to be. Some of us have classes to get to. Some of us would simply like to arrive at our destination sometime this calendar year.
I’ve been at CCNY for seven semesters, and I have genuinely never encountered such a large concentration of slow walkers. I’m talking about entire groups moving at a speed that makes me question whether people are actually going to class or participating in a tour of the campus. Why are y’all moving like this now? Please increase your walking velocity.
And yes, I understand life happens. Maybe you’re tired, injured, or simply not in a hurry. Fair enough. Not everyone needs to walk like they’re being chased.
But please, for the love of getting to class, if you’re going to walk slowly, MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE WALKWAY.
There is nothing more spiritually challenging than trying to get around a group of four people walking shoulder to shoulder at approximately 0.7 mph while somehow taking up the entire width of the sidewalk.
You don’t have to be a fast walker. Just give the rest of us a lane.
