Alright so my roommate and I are trying to think of something to do today. Keep in mind we've got horrible internet here, civilization is an hour and a half away, we've got no car, no gaming systems, nothing on TV, and we want to do something semi athletic. Any ideas NS?

Northfield, at Norwich University. And that no car thing kind of kills the Ben and Jerry's museum idea.

pretty much this, do outdoors stuff while drinking or high. VT is awesome in the fact that you can get away with pretty much anything, but therein lies the problem. Too many people I know around here start tripping an excessive amount and it's hard to stay away from. Basically my plans start with buying a rack, then looking for somewhere to drink it. Road sodas are becoming a bad habit for sure, luckily i will be in Boston come July.

yeah that used to be a problem for me when i was young back in high school. luckily i never got in trouble or had any problems, but a lot of my friends did and that's when i smartened up about it. it's the same reason i am staying in montreal this summer b/c if i go back to VT all summer I know I would probably get into trouble and if anything bad happened i would have quite a hard time getting back over the border for school in the fall.

winter? really obvious, go skiing

summer? drive around aimlessly, go swimming every day.

Rest of the year? prepare to be bored, there is nothing.

Dude there is literally nothing boring about Bonglington. I love that place sooo much. go skate the burton ramps, go skate the ghetto park, go fishing, go to north beach, go talk to big john at ridin high, go cruise the five headshops within lik two feet from each other, go look at people walking down church, go bomb battery street, go play basketball in that park by the hyde street delta with tha gangsta black dudes, go up to the lookout spot and watch the sunset, go look for hot girls on one of the three campuses, drop some acid and walk around UVM, go see someone sick at higherground or the greenroom or just sit back and smoke a joint in the beautiful Burlington sunshine...

Put on walking shoes, get water bottles and some snacks, get up early one morning and just walk. See how far you can get, just go, any direction. While your walking talk about everything and anything. From politics to your secret fetishes. Just say what you want, talk, walk, jog, run, skip, play leap frog. Whatever. Just go. It's the most fun you'll have without a car or weed. I promise that.

Me and my friend walked a total of 29 miles last Wednesday. We just walked. It felt so good, we were gone for 9 hours. Most fun I've had since skiing.
