Attention Commuters!
Go a different route!
Anyone who has to travel to work, school, college or any other regular activity, will know just how dull it can be going the same way day-in-day-out. It becomes so boring! You just switch off and settle into your routine…you become numb, barely noticing what’s going on around you, or hardly caring if you do. To be honest, I hadn’t realised how much my bus journey to college and back sent me to sleep, until a couple of days ago.
The bus was late (later than normal), and my dad drove past the bus stop on his way to work. He took my brother and I as far as he could, and then we got on a DIFFERENT bus, with a DIFFERENT driver, DIFFERENT passengers and went a DIFFERENT route to college. It was so refreshing! Up to that moment, I was pretty much still asleep, but this woke me up! Seeing all these DIFFERENT places, people and things, it was like having dusty lenses taken off my eyes and new, clean ones put in. Everything seemed to be much more vibrant in colour, instead of the dull grey of the things you see every day. I was alive during my commute!
It I know it seems like I get easily amused, it’s the simple pleasures etc…but seriously, try it. Go a different route to work, school, college, I promise you, it will make a difference.
