Whether it’s to class or to a football game, we’ve all taken the PRT at some point. More times than not, the PRT breaks down and you get stuck on Evansdale and miss your class, or worse you get stuck in the middle of the tracks on a crowded PRT. So, here’s some thoughts we’ve all had when taking the PRT:
1. “This F***ING thing sucks!”
This is without a doubt the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind. The frustration is real when riding the PRT, and it’s okay to think this (or even say it).
2. “I need a beer… Or ten.”
Riding the PRT is stressful and annoying; having an alcoholic beverage might just make it a little more tolerable.
3. “Why the hell are there five cars just sitting here not letting anyone on?”
When there are five cars just chillin’ when there’s 30+ people waiting to go to Beechurst, NOTHING MAKES SENSE.
4. “Whoever made this thing sucks.”
A daily thought because clearly you could have designed it better.
5. “No one cares about how your boyfriend broke up with you, shut up.”
The phone call to your BFF can wait five minutes until you get off the PRT. Your BFF will still be there and your boyfriend still won’t.
6. “Holy crap, what’s that smell??
When there’s a lot of people crammed into one car, it’s bound to happen if you know what I mean.
7. “There’s only two people on here, why did you have to sit right next to me?”
Have you ever heard of personal space? Not only is this weird, but also extremely uncomfortable.
8. “Turn your music up a little louder, I can barely hear it.”
These people are the WORST. We get it. You listen to Waka Flocka Flame.
9. “Why did the door literally just shut on me?”
Not only is this super annoying and embarrassing, it hurts! That door is really strong and trying to get in a car before it hits you is like an Olympic sport.
10. “Wonder how long this beer can has been here for?”
If you’ve ever ridden the PRT after a football or basketball game, you’ve seen the empty Natty Light cans and Burnett’s bottles that line the corners of every PRT car. Sometimes, these things sit in there for days.
Although we all dread taking the PRT most days, there’s no better feeling than screaming “LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!” on Game Day.
