Get a scooter

A decent number of students these days are riding scooters around on campus. You don't have to lock them up and you can take them into classes with you which makes them a better option than a bicycle. They will definitely get you around faster than walking too. If you decide to get one you will probably want a pro scooter that is designed specifically for the streets. Lucky (shown above) makes some of the more popular pro street scooters out there today. Street scooters are bigger, heavier and stronger than the toy scooters you see little kids riding. They are designed to be used for commuting on the streets and for doing stunts and tricks like a skateboard.

Find out where you came from

A really fun way to spend a lot of free time is to research your family tree. Most people really enjoy finding out about their ancestors and it definitely can take a long time to complete. A great place to start is a good public records site. Make sure it covers the state where your family currently lives and provides information on where to access vital records. For example, a Texas public records site would work if most of your family currently lives there. Another great resource is the U.S. Census data. There is a wealth of information in older census data that can provide a lot of clues as to where your ancestors came from.

Believe it or not, it's possible to read a book for fun and libraries at colleges and universities have tons of them.
