My apartment is about a mile from Brooks Hall and I figured it would be good to walk or bike to school everyday.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the first day of class I showed up in a sweaty mess. After taking my seat, a classmate (Liz) offered me a napkin (from Chipotle). I promised myself that I wouldn\u2019t let it happen again. On Wednesday, the same thing happened. Only this time, I didn\u2019t actually have class. I walked into a classroom as sweaty as can be. But this time, there was a different class inside. I felt <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">quite<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> embarrassed.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The frustrations continued. My tires had gotten very low on air so I found a map online of NC State bike pumps. The main campus bike pump was so dysfunctional that it actually let all of the air out of my front tire and didn\u2019t put any back in. After walking my bike to the centennial campus bike pump, I found that it was completely water-logged and unusable.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After that I walked my bike to Crank Arm, a bar which claimed to have a bike pump out front. They did. After that I went to Target and bought myself a bike pump for $16.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m thinking about bike pumps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":73,"featured_media":4556,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[345],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-your-guess","entry-card--landscape"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p86O3z-1bt","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bike-pumps-01.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4555"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4555\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4573,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4555\/revisions\/4573"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
